Mentor other engineers through code review, pairing, and knowledge sharing
Help shape engineering culture as the team grows

What We're Looking For

5+ years of professional software engineering experience
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js; experience with React is a plus
Deep understanding of REST API design, relational and document databases (especially MongoDB), and distributed systems concepts
Experience building systems that handle high transaction volumes or strict correctness requirements
Comfortable with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar) and containerized deployments
Track record of shipping and maintaining production systems
Clear communicator who can discuss technical tradeoffs with engineers and non-engineers alike
Bonus: Experience in payments, fintech, or blockchain/crypto
