  • Architect, design, and implement scalable, reliable backend and frontend systems that support key product initiatives.
  • Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate user needs into robust, maintainable technical solutions.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of major technical components, from initial design through deployment and ongoing optimization.
  • Lead architectural discussions, making informed trade-offs to balance scalability, maintainability, and delivery speed.

  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to work independently and drive projects forward with minimal oversight.
  • Clear and effective communicator, able to collaborate across disciplines and share ideas constructively.
  • Passion for mentoring and supporting peers through feedback and knowledge sharing.
