We're looking for a product led, Senior Software Engineer who can be the generalist in the team, bridge front and back, solve complex issues, make technical decisions, question everything and have an opinion.

Designing and scaling Node.js APIs and distributed backend services will give you the chance to work on complex, high-impact systems. You’ll also drive best practices in code quality, testing, observability and maintainability, helping to shape the team’s engineering culture.

Working closely with product, design and research, you’ll help shape solutions end-to-end. You’ll also act as a technical sounding board and mentor within a collaborative team, contributing to decisions around tooling, infrastructure and emerging technologies (including AI-assisted workflows).

What you’ll need

Strong experience with TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, React, and Next.js

Familiarity with AWS Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway), Vercel, SQL Server, Algolia, and CI/CD (TeamCity)
