  • Lead and drive projects across the stack — TypeScript, Golang, React, Node.js services hosted on Kubernetes.

  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools throughout the coding lifecycle — code generation, review, and testing — to move fast without sacrificing code quality.

  • Apply deep understanding of design and architecture and best-practice design patterns; optimize performance, scale, and resiliency.

  • Act as a strong team player across diverse, cross-functional groups, including mentoring other engineers and leading them through complex projects.

  • Communicate effectively with leadership to define technical solutions, align them to business objectives, and provide clear progress updates.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Expertise designing and consuming APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC), with a focus on secure, scalable, high-performance services.

  • Proven ability to architect full-stack solutions, balance performance and scalability from the database layer to the UI.

  • Strong understanding of database design, performance tuning, and indexing across both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.

  • Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, and common cloud primitives such as storage, messaging, logging, and networking.

  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, or similar), automating testing, deployment, and scaling of services.

  • Deep understanding of security best practices in full-stack environments — securing APIs, handling sensitive data, and managing authentication/authorization (OAuth, JWT).

  • Experience working in an Agile environment, including leading sprint planning and breaking down large initiatives.

  • Comfortable adopting AI-assisted development tools (AI coding assistants, automated code review/testing) to accelerate delivery while maintaining high code quality.

  • Strong desire to work in a fast-paced, start-up environment with multiple releases a day.

  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a track record of diagnosing complex issues and implementing innovative solutions.
