• Take full ownership of features end-to-end: from architecture and database design to frontend implementation.
• Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and security.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to translate complex requirements into high-quality code.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain high engineering standards.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices to continuously improve our stack.

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Proficiency in React.js and its core principles.
