Requirements

Strong full-stack experience building and shipping production web applications (roughly 3+ years for mid-level, 6+ for senior)
Deep fluency in TypeScript across the stack, owning both frontend and backend
Solid fundamentals in data modeling, API design, and deploying to the cloud
A bias to ship: you break work into deliverable pieces and move it to done without hand-holding
Clear communication and genuine care for the people who use what you build

Nice To Haves

Experience at an early-stage or fast-scaling startup where you wore several hats
Exposure to data-intensive products, recommendation/matching systems, or AI/ML-backed features
Interest in workforce development, economic mobility, or other mission-driven work

Responsibilities

Design, build, test, and ship full-stack features across the frontend and backend, owning your work all the way to production.
Work closely with Product, Design, and Data to turn customer needs into well-built, reliable software.
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code, and help hold the team to a high bar through reviews and shared standards.
Make sound technical decisions in your work and weigh tradeoffs as you build.
At the senior end, this scales up to system design for larger initiatives, architectural calls, and mentoring other engineers.
Get your environment set up and ship your first change to production in the first week.
Build relationships across Engineering, Product, Design, and Data.
Get to know the codebase and our stack.
Understand who our users are, the barriers they face, and the problems we're solving for them.
Take a feature from design through to production on your own, owning quality the whole way.
Become a dependable code reviewer and start holding the team to a high bar through shared standards.
Develop real judgment about our patterns and tradeoffs, and bring that into planning and technical discussions.
Partner closely with Product and Design to turn customer needs into reliable, well-built software.
Deliver a meaningful piece of product that customers actually feel.
Spot something that slows us down, like tooling, testing, observability, or process, and improve it without being asked.
Have a clear point of view on where we can move faster or raise the bar on quality.
Take on system design for a larger initiative, make sound architectural calls, and lift the engineers around you.
