- Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other developers to bring reliable and scalable software to production.
- Engage directly with customers and domain experts to understand requirements and iterate rapidly on solutions.
- Translate complex product and data requirements into extensible and modular code, crafting clean APIs, handling backend logic, and integrating new services, to support intuitive UI components and user flows.
- Participate in and lead architectural and system design discussions.
- Support DevOps, CI/CD, and post-deployment improvements.
- Contribute across the tech stack, when needed.
- Mentor junior developers and coordinate the delivery of mid-sized to large-scale initiatives.

- 5+ years of experience building production-ready web applications across the frontend and backend.
- Strong passion for crafting scalable, performant, and extensible systems.
