About the Role

We’re looking for a pragmatic, product-minded software engineer who can own features end-to-end—from shaping technical design to shipping reliable, well-tested code. You’ll collaborate with product, design, and data teams to build scalable web applications that delight users and move key business metrics.

Key Responsibilities

Area : What You’ll Do : Feature Development. Design, implement, and deploy new product features related to AI across the React / TypeScript front-end and Python back-end. Architecture & Scale

Break monoliths into well-defined services, optimize SQL / NoSQL data models, and ensure systems remain observable and fault-tolerant under load. Quality & Reliability

Write unit, integration, and E2E tests, participate in code reviews, and lead post-mortems to eliminate root causes of incidents. DevEx & Tooling

Automate CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes) and champion best practices around linting, static analysis, and release management. Cross-Functional Collaboration

Translate product specs into technical tasks, demo work to stakeholders, and mentor junior engineers through pair programming and design sessions.

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience building production web applications.
Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript and at least one back-end language (Go, Kotlin, Java, or Python).
Deep understanding of RESTful / GraphQL APIs, relational databases (PostgreSQL / MySQL), and caching layers (Redis).
Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
Solid grasp of testing strategies, code reviews, and agile development workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pub / Sub) and domain-driven design.

Familiarity with CI / CD tooling (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi).

Knowledge of modern front-end frameworks (Next.js, Remix) and component libraries (Radix, shadcn / ui).

Prior exposure to data pipelines, real-time analytics, or ML model integrations.

What We Offer

Impactful Work – Ship features that reach millions of users within weeks, not quarters.

Remote-First Flexibility – Work from anywhere within ±4 h of Eastern Time; quarterly in-person retreats.

Professional Growth – Annual learning stipend, dedicated “10% time” for open-source or passion projects, and a clear promotion ladder.

Competitive Compensation – Market-rate salary, equity, and 401(k) match.

Comprehensive Benefits – 100 % employer-paid health, dental, and vision; generous PTO; and parental leave.

How to Apply

Submit your résumé, GitHub or portfolio link, and a brief note on a technical decision you’re proud of. We review applications on a rolling basis and respond within two weeks.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and celebrate diversity. If you’re excited about the role but don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway.
