Senior Fullstack Engineer

Who you are

• Senior fullstack engineering experience: Proven track record of architecting, building, and operating production web applications and microservices at scale
• Core technical stack proficiency: Mastery of TypeScript across the stack, modern frontend frameworks (Vue 3, React), and backend services using Node.js
• Platform & API architecture: Deep experience with REST/GraphQL APIs, microservices, Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) patterns, and data persistence (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Kafka)
• Pragmatic delivery & platform mindset: Eagerness to balance high architectural quality with rapid, iterative product delivery that enables both end-users and developer teams
• AI-assisted engineering approach: Active hands-on experience utilizing AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate daily engineering workflows
• Specialized web technologies: Experience with Mapbox, GraphQL schema federation, Python, or Scala
• Advanced architecture & tooling: Practical experience with monorepos, micro-frontends, hexagonal architecture, or Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• Design system maintenance: Experience maintaining or contributing to shared component libraries and design systems utilized across multiple teams
• Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of color are less likely than others to apply if they feel like they don’t match 100% of the job requirements. Don’t let the confidence gap stand in your way, we’d love to hear from you! We understand that experience comes in many different forms and are dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team
