• Build modern frontend applications with React.
• Design scalable relational database schemas and optimize query performance.
• Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform and Docker.
• Improve system reliability, observability, and operational excellence with an SRE mindset.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, high-quality software.
• Participate in AI-powered product development, including experimentation, evaluation, and data-driven product improvements.

Required Qualifications

• 7–25 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Minimum 5 years as a Senior or Staff Software Engineer.
• Strong experience building full-stack web applications from design through deployment.
• Proven expertise with TypeScript in production environments.
• Strong backend development experience using:
  • Node.js

  • PostgreSQL
• Strong frontend experience with React.
• Experience designing and scaling high-throughput distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud infrastructure and Terraform.
• Experience designing scalable relational database schemas.
• Familiarity with Docker and modern cloud-native development.
• Understanding of AI-assisted product development, including LLM workflows, experimentation, evaluation, or dataset curation.
• Strong knowledge of software security best practices.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working at high-growth technology startups, unicorns, or FAANG companies.
• Experience building software where the product itself is the company's core business.
• Fintech experience is a plus.
• Active GitHub profile with meaningful open-source or personal projects.
• Strong side projects demonstrating engineering excellence.
• History of long-term impact and career progression within organizations.

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who:

• Loves building software and shipping production code.
• Enjoys solving large-scale technical challenges.
• Has deep hands-on engineering expertise rather than primarily management responsibilities.

• Brings an SRE mindset focused on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Has a strong security-first approach to software development.

Nice to Have

• GraphQL Apollo ecosystem experience.
