  • Uphold and elevate our engineering standards by actively participating in code reviews, providing constructive feedback, and mentoring other engineers on best practices for style, maintainability, and performance.
  • Independently drive the development and shipment of brand-new features and complex improvements, demonstrating strong ownership from conception through to deployment with minimal guidance.
  • Contribute to platform stability and reliability by participating in on-call rotations and effectively troubleshooting urgent engineering issues.
  • Proactively identify areas of technical debt and architectural weaknesses; design, propose, and implement effective solutions to enhance codebase health and scalability.
  • Champion continuous improvement within the team by advocating for enhancements to our codebase, tools, and processes; provide technical leadership and guidance to fellow team members.

  • Solid experience with frontend testing methodologies and tools (e.g., Jest, Playwright) and code quality linters/formatters (e.g., ESLint).
  • Strong understanding and practical experience with client-side performance analysis and optimization techniques.
  • Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows (branching, code reviews, pull requests) in a team environment.
  • Experience working effectively in an agile, intensely iterative software development process.
  • Familiarity with application performance monitoring (APM) and log analytics tools to diagnose and address issues.

Preferred:

  • Experience with backend development, particularly using Java, NodeJS or Kotlin.
  • Experience integrating frontend applications with GraphQL APIs.
  • Hands-on experience implementing and utilizing observability tools (monitoring, logging, alerting).
  • Experience configuring and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, specifically using GitHub Actions and merge queues.
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes / K8s), and cloud platforms (AWS).
