📋 Description

• Lead technical design for platform features and services, breaking ambiguous requirements into clear, incremental designs and stories for your team and adjacent partners. • Implement backend services in Python/FastAPI and React frontends end-to-end, owning a continuous stream of stories from idea to production. • Define and use clear API contracts and data flows between services and UIs, creating patterns and templates others can follow. • Champion high-quality engineering practices, including code reviews, documentation, and maintainable, testable designs. • Develop and improve automated testing (unit, integration, end‑to‑end) and integrate these into everyday development and CI. • Improve CI/CD pipelines and release workflows for your team so the team can ship small, safe changes frequently and confidently. • Own the operational lifecycle of the features and services you build, including monitoring, observability, on-call participation, and incident follow-up. • Design and implement secure-by-default solutions, including robust authentication/authorization, input validation, and safe handling of sensitive data. • Identify and address reliability and performance risks early, proposing concrete technical improvements and sequencing them into the roadmap. • Mentor and unblock engineers through pairing, design discussions, and clear feedback; influence without formal authority.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; equivalent work experience is acceptable. • 7+ years of experience in software engineering. • Strong proficiency with Python and modern web backends (FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar) and solid understanding of HTTP, API design, and data modeling. • Significant experience with React (or a comparable SPA framework) and building production frontends that talk to backend APIs. • Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end in a small team: from shaping requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support. • Experience designing and working with distributed systems or multi-service architectures (e.g., service boundaries, async jobs, integration patterns). • Solid understanding of observability and operations for production systems (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, alerting, incident response). • Strong understanding of security fundamentals (authentication, authorization, secure data handling) and how they apply to web services and UIs. • Deep familiarity with automated testing and CI/CD, and a track record of improving engineering workflows and quality. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working closely with product, design, and other stakeholders. • Proven ability to provide technical leadership in a hands-on way: unblocking others, making clear decisions, and raising the bar through code and reviews.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible Vacation Policy • 80 hours of Paid Sick, Safe, and Caregiver Leave annually
