- Optimize performance and infrastructure, including caching strategies, lazy loading, and efficient database queries.
- Ensure accessibility and UI consistency (WCAG compliance) across our platform.
- Integrate seamlessly across the stack, ensuring smooth communication between frontend and backend systems.
- Conduct thoughtful code reviews and contribute to a high standard of technical quality.
- Implement testing strategies, using tools like Jest to ensure reliability and stability.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to align engineering efforts with product and business goals.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging technologies that improve developer workflows and platform scalability.

- Backend Architecture: Deep understanding of scalable backend design, API development, and system integrations.
- Testing & Quality: You build with quality in mind, writing maintainable code supported by thorough testing practices.
- Clear Communication: You communicate technical decisions effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Ownership and Flexibility: You take initiative, follow through on responsibilities, and adapt as priorities evolve.
Bonus Experience
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps best practices.
- Experience with serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda).
- Expertise in identifying and solving complex system performance issues.
The Interview Process
- Multiple Choice Technical Assessment: A general assessment of your JavaScript and coding skill sets, designed to evaluate your foundational technical knowledge.
- 30-Minute Video Call with a Talent Acquisition Partner: A conversation to get to know you better, discuss your experience and motivations, and explore your technical knowledge and cultural fit for the role.
- 60-Minute Interview with a Member of Engineering Leadership: A deeper dive into your technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and alignment with our team’s goals. This interview also focuses on your approach to collaboration and communication within a cross-functional environment.
- 75-Minute Live Coding Session: A hands-on coding session with a Team Lead or Engineering Leader. You’ll be tasked with solving a technical problem in real-time, where we’ll evaluate your coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and approach to optimizing code.
We know that what matters most is a great attitude, a hunger to learn, and a drive to deliver high-quality work. While experience is valuable, we also understand that careers don’t always follow a straight path.
