  • Optimize performance, security, and reliability across the application stack

  • Work closely with founders, product managers, and engineering teams to align business and technology goals

  • Establish and lead code review, testing, and deployment best practices

  • Mentor and guide senior engineers, fostering a strong engineering culture

  • 8+ years of experience in full-stack development, with a strong record of technical leadership

  • Experience with distributed systems, high-availability architectures, and event-driven designs

  • Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go, or Java

  • Strong background in CI/CD, DevOps, and infrastructure-as-code tools

  • Experience in mentoring engineers and leading large-scale technical projects

💡 Technologies You Might Work With:

  • Languages & Frameworks: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, React, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, Node.js, Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, FastAPI

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis
