What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of software development experience
- Previous experience leading or mentoring engineers
- Strong production experience with modern web technologies (React, TypeScript)
- Solid backend experience working with APIs and distributed systems
- Experience working in large codebases or microservice architectures
