This is your chance to bring your drive and agility to shape major initiatives, take ownership, and help us move faster.

About the Role: Build, Innovate, and Mentor

As a Senior Engineer, you are a crucial part of the team—a builder and a problem-solver at heart. You'll take ownership of complex features and components from design through to delivery. We need experienced engineers who can not only write clean, scalable code but also contribute to technical discussions and help mentor other engineers on the team. If you love tackling challenging technical problems and building high-quality software that millions will use, this is the role for you.

This is a hands-on role where you'll spend your time designing, coding, and collaborating to build beautiful products, all while helping to foster a culture of engineering excellence.

What you'll do:

• Be a hands-on coder: Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable software. You'll be actively writing code and contributing to the codebase every day.
• Solve complex problems: Take ownership of challenging technical tasks and see them through to completion.
• Contribute to our technical direction: Participate in technical design discussions and architectural decisions, working with lead and principal engineers to shape our solutions.
• Mentor and support: Share your knowledge and experience with other engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and informal mentorship.
• Partner to deliver: Work in close partnership with product, design, and your engineering team to turn our ambitious roadmap into reality.
• Raise the bar: Champion high standards for code quality, testing, CI/CD, and security.

What you'll bring:

• Strong capability as a full-stack engineer, with a track record of delivering high-quality, complex software features.
• Proficiency in modern web technologies. Our stack is primarily C# on the backend and TypeScript/React on the frontend. More than specific tool experience, we value your strong engineering fundamentals and your drive to master new technologies as they emerge.
• Solid skills in cloud architecture and system design, with the ability to contribute to building and operating scalable, resilient microservices-based systems on AWS.
• A bias for action and a result-oriented approach. You excel at finding pragmatic solutions and delivering impactful outcomes.
• A passion for helping others succeed. You enjoy sharing your knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to a positive and collaborative team environment.
• An obsession with improvement. You constantly seek out and champion new tools and approaches—like AI-powered coding—to make yourself and the team more productive.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate technical ideas clearly.
