• Architect and implement scalable, type-safe APIs and services using modern Node.js frameworks.
• Contribute to and champion best practices within a monorepo codebase (Nx, Turborepo, or similar).
• Collaborate with product, design, and platform teams to deliver high-quality features end to end.
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and mentoring of junior engineers.
• Improve developer experience through tooling, automation, and CI/CD pipeline enhancements.
• Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP, AWS, or Azure to deploy and operate production services.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional experience in TypeScript/JavaScript development
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript across both front-end and back-end
• Solid experience with React or Angular (experience with both is a plus)
• Leverage AI-first coding workflows and spec-driven development practices, using tools like Claude Code, Codex, or similar AI coding assistants to accelerate delivery and maintain high code quality
• Hands-on back-end experience with a Node.js-based framework such as NestJS, Hono, Fastify, Express, or similar
• Proven experience working in a monorepo environment (Nx, Turborepo, Lerna, or similar)
• Strong programming fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and problem-solving
• Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and RESTful/GraphQL API design
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) including CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure basics
• Comfortable working with Git, pull request workflows, and modern development tooling

Nice-to-Have

• Prior experience with Java or .NET in an enterprise setting
• Familiarity with the TAAN stack
• Experience with message queues, event-driven architectures, or microservices patterns
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK)
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Datadog, Grafana, etc.)
• Contributions to open-source projects or internal developer tooling

Why Join Us?

• Work on a modern TypeScript-first platform
• Be part of a collaborative, quality-driven engineering culture
• Influence architecture, tooling, and developer experience
