• Collaborate with product, architecture, DevOps, support, and peer engineering teams to resolve dependencies and deliver agreed-upon outcomes
• Troubleshoot application, performance, and production issues; use logs, metrics, and other diagnostics to identify root causes and implement fixes
• Apply sound judgment to technology and implementation choices within the team’s technical direction, and raise risks or broader design concerns early
• Help improve engineering practices, documentation, test coverage, and operational readiness; identify and address technical debt as part of delivery
• Share knowledge and mentor teammates through reviews, pairing, and practical guidance on design and implementation

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and supporting scalable web applications or services
• Strong production experience with Node.js and React, including modern JavaScript and common frameworks or libraries

• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, and familiarity with deploying and operating cloud-based applications
• Knowledge of web application architecture, API design, performance, security, and testing practices

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical issues and coordinate with product and engineering partners
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

The Ideal Candidate
