📋 Description

• Ship full-stack features with measurable product impact. • Provide substantive code review, architectural feedback, not just approvals. • Serve as a first responder for production issues (within working hours): triage, root cause, and preventive measures recommendations. • Improve the team's engineering practice over time: tooling, agentic workflows, technical standards, and documentation that lives where work happens. • Translate product requirements into a technical approach and communicate the reasoning.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years building production web applications, with a strong full-stack range (modern React/TypeScript frontends and a typed or Pythonic backend). • Track record of owning ambiguous problems end-to-end and shipping with measurable impact. • Substantive code review history - examples of catching architectural issues. • Active daily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code or similar) with a clear point of view on where they help, where they hurt, and how to keep their output reviewable. • Comfort with production debugging across the stack: traces, logs, profiling, the unglamorous parts. • Strong async written communication: clear PR descriptions, sharp Slack, sharp specs.
