As you grow, you'll take increasing ownership of critical systems while collaborating closely with experienced engineers. What You'll Own - Contribute to the design and development of end-to-end fullstack systems powering critical internal workflows and platform capabilities. - Build clean, maintainable backend services and APIs while learning scalable engineering best practices. - Develop high-quality frontend interfaces used by internal teams and end users. - Participate in data modeling and database optimization efforts, including schema design and query performance. - Collaborate with product, operations, and design teams to translate ideas into reliable, production-ready features. - Improve engineering quality through code reviews, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement. - Help troubleshoot production issues while learning how to build resilient, observable systems. - Develop sound engineering judgment by making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, scalability, and maintainability. What We're Looking For - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field (recent graduate or graduating soon). - Internship, co-op, research, or meaningful personal/project experience building software applications. - Strong fundamentals in JavaScript and/or TypeScript. - Familiarity with frontend development using React or similar frameworks. - Familiarity with backend development using Node.js (NestJS is a plus). - Understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL and core data modeling principles. - Familiarity with RESTful APIs and how distributed applications communicate. - Exposure to Git and modern software development workflows. - Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, attention to detail, and a growth mindset. - Excited to learn quickly and contribute in a fast-moving engineering environment. Preferred - Internship or professional software engineering experience. - Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. - Familiarity with CI/CD, deployment pipelines, or DevOps fundamentals. - Exposure to modern architectures such as microservices, serverless, or event-driven systems. - Interest in AI-powered products, workflow automation, or data-intensive applications. - Experience contributing to team projects, hackathons, open-source software, or startup environments.
