We're looking for a deeply experienced software engineer with full-stack fluency who brings strong technical judgment and a critical eye for quality. This role is about making the right decisions, shaping architecture, and raising the engineering bar.

You'll use AI tools as force multipliers while maintaining high standards for correctness, maintainability, performance, and testing.


What You'll Do

  • Own technical quality across design reviews, code reviews, testing, and production readiness
  • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering to shape solutions and tradeoffs
  • Architect frontend-first, full-stack systems that are modular, scalable, and resilient
  • Improve performance, reliability, and maintainability across the stack
  • Champion functional programming and immutability for simpler, more predictable systems
  • Leverage AI-assisted development (prototyping → refinement → production hardening)
  • Build and enforce robust testing strategies (unit, integration, UI, end-to-end)

What You Bring

  • 8+ years building production web applications
  • Expert in TypeScript + React, with strong experience in Next.js (SSR) or similar frameworks
  • Strong full-stack fundamentals and experience designing scalable systems
  • Ability to clearly communicate technical tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Track record of building simple, reusable, and adaptable systems
  • Deep understanding of testing strategies and CI-driven development
  • Proven mentorship and leadership through code reviews and technical guidance

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Hands-on experience with AI-powered dev tools (e.g., Cursor or similar)
  • Strong judgment on when to rely on AI-and when not to
  • Ability to explore multiple approaches quickly and converge on high-quality, production-ready solutions (not "AI-generated" code)

Why This Role

  • Work in a modern AI-augmented engineering environment
  • Influence architecture and engineering standards
  • Solve complex problems with a high degree of ownership and autonomy
  • Be part of a team that values craft, clarity, and thoughtful decision-making
