- Help us continually improve our engineering processes, tools, and ways of working.

You’ll work across our modern, TypeScript-based stack:
- Frontend: React (Next.js), GraphQL (Apollo), TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js (AWS Lambda), Prisma & PostgreSQL
- Testing: Cypress + Jest
- Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines
- Practices: Agile, Kanban, pair programming, continuous delivery
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Have 7+ years’ experience in software engineering, with significant experience in frontend technologies but comfortable working full-stack.
- Are highly proficient in React, TypeScript, and GraphQL, with a strong grasp of backend fundamentals in Node.js.
- Have experience designing technical solutions involving APIs, database models, and service integration.
- Understand scalability, performance, and security across both frontend and backend.
- Enjoy working closely with product and design teams to build features that delight users.
- Are comfortable mentoring others and helping set technical direction for projects.
- Bonus points if you’ve worked on fintech products or complex transactional systems.
