This role is for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who can independently drive complex features from idea to production. You’ll work in a cross-functional Scrum team and be trusted to make sound technical decisions, even when requirements are incomplete.

• System design & quality: Design and evolve solutions for complex workflows and data flows, with a focus on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• Production mindset: Debug issues across environments, contribute to incident resolution, and build observability into systems from day one.
• Engineering excellence: Uphold and evolve standards around code quality, reviews, and deployments. Mentor peers through thoughtful feedback.
• Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Design, Platform, and Support. Participate actively in Scrum ceremonies.

Must have:

• Strong experience with a modern Java-based web stack
• Hands-on experience with React.js and Typescript
• Experience building and owning full-stack web applications
• Familiarity with cloud platforms , preferably AWS
• Strong communication skills and an ownership-driven mindset
