Your Responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end: You'll independently deliver medium-complexity features from design through production, breaking down work effectively and meeting delivery expectations with minimal oversight.
• Drive customer impact: You'll ensure your work is relevant and maintainable, using data and stakeholder feedback to validate impact and suggest improvements that enhance user experience.
• Build PoCs to create certainty: When faced with ambiguous technical challenges, you'll prototype solutions and run experiments (A/B tests, gradual rollouts) to validate approaches before committing to full implementation.
• Challenge requirements proactively: You'll apply product and technical context to make better design decisions, questioning unclear requirements and confirming we're solving the right customer problems.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: You'll communicate clearly across teams, unblock others, and share knowledge through documentation that helps teammates understand and build on your work.
• Support and mentor others: You'll help engineers grow, engage constructively in team rituals, and identify opportunities to improve how the team delivers.
• Adapt to evolving priorities: You'll stay flexible as requirements shift, escalate risks early, and maintain momentum while learning new tools and patterns.
• Share operational responsibility: You'll participate in on-call rotations as needed, taking ownership of your code in production and debugging issues independently.

Qualities we look for

• Product engineering mindset: You obsess about customer experience and solving real user problems. You balance pragmatism with technical rigor, asking "should we build this?" and connecting your work to measurable business outcomes.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive when problems lack clear solutions. Rather than waiting for perfect clarity, you build PoCs and run experiments to create certainty and de-risk ambiguous projects.
• Willingness to take risks: You're eager to try new approaches and technologies, learning quickly from both successes and failures. You validate assumptions through experiments rather than building large solutions upfront.
• Solid engineering foundations: You write clean, maintainable code with strong testing practices. You use core tools and patterns independently, consistently delivering work with minimal issues.
• Collaborative communicator: You're a clear communicator and active listener who helps others succeed. You document your work effectively and contribute positively to team health through constructive feedback.
• Growth-oriented: You actively seek feedback, set development goals, and stay curious about industry advancements. You're open to learning new tools and technologies when the problem demands it.

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: joining our team means becoming part of a large, global community with people of more than 90 nationalities.
