• Remain deeply hands-on, writing high-quality code and solving complex frontend, backend, distributed systems, and engineering problems.
• Partner with Architects, Product, and UX to translate architectural and product direction into production software, providing implementation feedback and identifying technical trade-offs.
• Improve the reliability, performance, security, observability, testability, and maintainability of web applications and platform services.
• Lead code reviews, technical problem-solving, root-cause analysis, and resolution of complex production issues.
• Drive engineering excellence through automated testing, code quality, design practices, and operational readiness.
• Apply modern frontend engineering practices, including accessible and responsive UI design, component reuse, browser performance optimization, and automated frontend testing.
• Mentor engineers through hands-on collaboration, reviews, and technical guidance.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building full stack, cloud-native, or large-scale SaaS applications.
• Strong hands-on software engineering experience with Java/JVM technologies and modern backend frameworks.
• Strong hands-on experience with React, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, including modern component architecture, state management, browser APIs, and asynchronous programming.
• Strong experience designing and building REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
