  • Guiding the technical strategy for your direct team and the broader department
  • Building and iterating on backend services in Go, using PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, and implementing message-driven patterns with RabbitMQ
  • Contributing across the stack, including light frontend work in our mobile app (Angular/Ionic), web app (React), and internal/admin tools, with support from frontend-focused teammates
  • Owning work end-to-end: from idea and design, through implementation, testing, and deployment
  • Collaborating closely with other engineers in person - whiteboarding, pairing, and iterating quickly
  • Breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable tasks and identifying technical risks early

  • Comfortable working with PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, and can write efficient, readable queries
  • Experience designing and building RESTful APIs that support real frontend use cases
  • Familiar with frontend fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and excited to work across React and Angular—even if backend is your core strength
  • Enjoy understanding the full request lifecycle, from UI interaction to database and back again
  • Solution-oriented - identify problems, own them, and improve them!
  • Able to communicate complex technical issues in a concise and effective manner
  • Thrive in fast-moving, experimental environments where problems may be loosely defined and solutions evolve quickly

  • Ready to work on production systems and grow into on-call responsibilities with team support
