About The Position

We are seeking a candidate with a unique blend of technical skill and creativity to thrive in our fast-paced environment.

You'll design, build, and modify real, production websites used by real customers every day.

• Working knowledge of JavaScript/React, Python/FastAPI, and SQL
• Experience using Git
• Hands-on experience building dynamic, interactive web applications
• Ability to write clean, efficient, well-documented code with a focus on quality and maintainability
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with the ability to analyze unfamiliar code and find practical, innovative solutions independently
• Comfortable taking a feature or project from requirements through to delivery, with clear specifications and documentation
• Experience with (or eagerness to learn) AWS products such as EC2 and RDS
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions) for automated testing and deployment
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work seamlessly with both technical and non-technical teammates and contribute to the team's growth

Nice To Haves

• exposure to AI/LLM tools and APIs (e.g. the Claude or OpenAI APIs, RAG, vector databases)
• Authorized to work in the U.S.

Responsibilities

• Build and modify responsive front-end features and pages as specified by the design team
• Design and implement APIs, and integrate third-party services (payments, booking, email marketing, and more) across our products
• Develop and maintain dynamic, interactive web applications across the full stack
• Update and ship requested changes to live sites, including pages, content, and images
• Test, debug, and continuously improve the design, performance, and functionality of our sites
• Write clear documentation for the features and systems you build
• Collaborate with designers and owners to turn ideas into working products
• Help maintain quality and consistency across all our web properties
• Build and integrate AI-powered features using large language model APIs (e.g. retrieval-augmented generation / RAG, smart search, automation)
