Requirements:
Experienced Full Stack Developer: 10+ years of hands-on software development. Comfortable across backend and frontend. Proven track record of owning and delivering impactful systems.
Hands-On and Versatile: You architect, prototype, and code. You're comfortable across the stack and dont get stuck in one domain. Languages and tools dont slow you down (we use Python, TypeScript, React, and more). Experience with GenAI tools (like GPT, Copilot, Cursor) is a plus. Experience with ML, computer vision, and LLMs is also a plus but this can also be a chance to enter the area if you wish to learn it.
Cloud Native: Strong experience building and operating cloud-based systems (we use AWS). Bonus if youve worked on high-scale, distributed architectures. You should have hands-on experience setting up and managing CI/CD pipelines.
Product-Minded: You care about the why, not just the how. You work closely with product to make smart tradeoffs and maximize impact.
Independent but Collaborative: You thrive in environments with minimal process. You communicate clearly and work well with PMs, leads, and engineers across the team and the company.
Comfortable with Ambiguity: You can dive into new domains and make fast progress. Youre not intimidated by messy problems or changing priorities.
A Great Teammate: You enjoy good communication, humor, and helping build a fun and supportive team culture.
