Collaboration & Code Quality:

• Work closely with the CTO to ensure backend data is translated into clean, functional UX
• Communicate timelines, tradeoffs, and constraints to non-technical founders
• Provide thoughtful code reviews for junior developers Mentor junior developers on architecture and best practices (not people management)

Platform & Infrastructure:

• Identify and fix bugs across frontend, backend, web, and mobile

• Experience working across the stack: backend services, APIs, frontend, and internal tools
• Ability to work with both new systems and existing/legacy code
• Experience with data handling, scaling, and performance optimization
• Startup mindset: adaptable, fast, independent, detail-oriented Strong communication skills, especially with non-technical stakeholders
• Experience reviewing code and mentoring junior developers
• Bonus Skills React Native AWS Background jobs (Sidekiq, queues, workers) Data modeling or data pipeline experience

Who Thrives Here You're a builder at heart.

You enjoy owning full features end-to-end — backend logic, data models, UI, APIs, integrations, dashboards, internal tools.

You like fast-moving environments where engineering decisions directly impact the roadmap. You're comfortable collaborating with both technical and non-technical founders.

If you want the chance to build core product DNA in an early-stage company, this role is for you.
