The Role

We are seeking a seasoned, hands-on Full Stack Engineer with a proactive, "gets-it-done" attitude to be a foundational member of a new team. You will be instrumental in building the code that brings this new product to life.

This role is for a true builder who thrives on ambiguity, loves to tackle "0-to-1" challenges, and can own complex features from the database all the way to the UI. You will be a key technical voice, collaborating directly with product management and other senior engineers to define and deliver on our vision.

What You'll Do

• Build from Scratch: Write high-quality, maintainable code for both the backend (Python) and frontend (React), working in a balanced 50/50 split, with a strong focus on rapid iteration and MVP delivery.

• Prototype & Iterate: Design and ship lightweight backend services and APIs quickly, avoiding over-engineering while maintaining code quality and scalability where needed.

• Collaborate on Architecture: Work closely with Staff Engineers and Product Managers to define and refine system architecture, making pragmatic technical decisions aligned with product maturity.

• Own the Lifecycle: Design, develop, test, and maintain new features from concept to production.

• Champion Quality: Write comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure code quality and system reliability.

• Collaborate Broadly: Work closely with Product Managers to refine requirements and translate business needs into technical solutions.

• Thrive in Ambiguity: Excel in a fast-paced, agile environment where requirements may be incomplete, priorities can shift quickly, and proactive problem-solving is essential.

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

• Extensive Experience: 8+ years (14+ preferred) of professional software development experience building complex, large-scale applications.

• Proactive & Problem-Solving Mindset: A "gets-it-done" attitude is your most critical soft skill. You are a self-starter who identifies problems, researches solutions, and executes efficiently.

• Backend Expertise:
3+ years of strong, professional Python experience in a production environment, building robust APIs and backend services.
Experience designing lightweight, scalable APIs for rapid product iteration.
Strong understanding of RESTful design, web architecture, and backend best practices.

• Frontend Expertise:
3+ years of strong, professional React experience, with a deep understanding of the modern React ecosystem, including state management, UI libraries, frameworks, and testing.

• Rapid Learning Ability: Demonstrated ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies in innovation-driven environments.

• Commitment to Testing: A non-negotiable belief in the importance of comprehensive testing.

• Excellent Communication: The ability to articulate complex technical ideas clearly in both written (async) and verbal contexts, including client-facing discussions.

What We'd Love to See (Nice-to-Haves)

• Proven experience leading or co-leading system architecture decisions.

• Experience with both relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB).

• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).

• Professional experience with Node.js / TypeScript for backend services.

• Experience working in prototyping, innovation, or early-stage product environments.
