• Partner with product managers, designers, and engineers across the organization to shape solutions and align on priorities
• Contribute to technical design discussions, weighing trade-offs and proposing approaches for new architecture
• Own backend services from initial concept through deployment and ongoing production support
• Apply best practices in security, performance optimization, and code quality to keep systems maintainable and highly available
• Troubleshoot complex production issues, using observability and monitoring tools to diagnose system health
• Share technical expertise through architecture discussions and hands-on mentorship

Requirements

• 5+ years of production experience building Java, RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems
• Experience building dynamic, responsive interfaces with React and TypeScript/JavaScript
• Practical understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production service management
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, iterative environment

• Hands-on experience with server-side TypeScript frameworks such as Remix, Next.js, or Express is a plus
