About the role

  • Design, build, and scale full-stack applications with technologies like Next.js, React Query, TailwindCSS, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, product, and operations to deliver solutions end-to-end, from UI to backend services.
  • Translate Figma designs into seamless, interactive experiences while ensuring backend integrations are robust and performant.
  • Use data to drive impact: A/B test, instrument, and iterate to improve user experience and business outcomes.
  • Multiply team effectiveness: mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and raise the technical bar.
  • Ensure quality and reliability: drive testing and automation across the stack (Cypress, Jest, React Testing Library, integration tests).
  • Own deployment and operations: manage apps on Netlify, AWS, or equivalent, and build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
  • Champion engineering culture: set standards around performance, security, accessibility, and technical excellence.
