  • Test and debug. Build automated tests, monitor system performance, and troubleshoot issues in production environments.
  • Contribute to system design. Engage in hands-on coding and architectural decisions to ensure reliability, security, and scalability.
  • Grow the team. Support a strong engineering culture through mentorship, thoughtful reviews, and shared ownership of technical standards.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems or features
  • Experience building backend services using relational databases such as MySQL, and working with microservices or service-oriented architectures
  • Strong working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frontend frameworks or libraries, with comfort building user-facing experiences
