Build and maintain backend services and APIs (Node.js/TypeScript), including:
Scalable API design (REST and/or GraphQL)
Authentication/authorization patterns
Data modeling and database schema design
Performance, reliability, and concurrency considerations
Rapidly prototype, iterate, and ship user-facing features—balancing speed with long-term architectural integrity.
Leverage AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, and debugging—while critically reviewing AI output for correctness, security, and performance.
Participate in (and often lead) code reviews, raising the bar on quality, readability, and security across the stack.
Troubleshoot complex production issues with a focus on observability, performance tuning, and prevention.
Identify opportunities to improve developer/agentic experience, processes, and platform foundations (tooling, CI/CD, testing, architecture patterns).
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Engineering to drive measurable impact for customers.
Mentor junior engineers through pairing, feedback, and technical guidance; contribute to a culture of pragmatic, user-focused engineering.
Author and maintain clear technical documentation for features, APIs, and system behavior.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of professional software development experience in production environments with meaningful scope/ownership.
2+ years of hands-on TypeScript experience across front-end and back-end contexts (strong preference for deeper expertise).
Proven full-stack capability: you have shipped features end-to-end (UI → API → data) and can own production outcomes.
Strong experience building modern web UIs using TypeScript (Angular preferred; other modern frameworks acceptable).
Strong backend fundamentals, including API design, data modeling, and performance considerations.
Experience with source control and collaborative workflows (GitHub/GitLab), including code reviews and CI/CD basics.
Demonstrated use of AI coding assistants (e.g., Copilot, Cursor) in a professional workflow—without compromising quality.
Who You Are
Self-starter who independently drives outcomes, owns success metrics, and follows through.
Strong product thinking: you can balance customer experience, technical feasibility, and maintainability.
Excellent communication skills—able to explain tradeoffs and align stakeholders.
Strong debugging skills across the stack (UI, APIs, data), with a calm, structured approach to incident response.
Security- and privacy-minded engineering approach (safe defaults, least privilege, secure coding practices).
Comfortable in ambiguity and fast iteration cycles; startup / zero-to-one experience is a plus.
