## What you'll do:

• Build and Evolve Features: Design and build new features and enhance existing ones with an eye for quality, iterating quickly to bring value to customers


• Shape Solutions Collaboratively: Work closely with engineers, designers, and product leaders to define direction, navigate tradeoffs, and deliver thoughtful solutions


• Influence Architecture:Participate in defining application architecture, particularly in frontend systems and patterns, using sound judgment to balance short-term needs with long-term maintainability


• Mentor and Guide: Provide technical leadership through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship of less experienced engineers


• Own Reliability: Participate in on-call rotation and help improve how the team responds to and learns from incidents


• Ramp up and take ownership:Build context quickly in a large, evolving system, spot opportunities for improvement, and carry work from early investigation through delivery

• Senior-level experience building, shipping, and owning production software, with a history seeing work through over time


• Strong experience building complex, user-facing applications using modern JavaScript/TypeScript and component-based UI frameworks (we use React today), gained through many years of professional software engineering work


• Working proficiency with backend technologies (Node.js, Postgres, Docker) and comfort collaborating across service boundaries


• A proven track record of implementing, shipping and maintaining production software


• Ability to write clear, testable, and maintainable JavaScript


• Demonstrated commitment to accessibility and inclusive design


• Little need for direct oversight and comfort owning ambiguous problem spaces


• Strong communication skills and an ability to clearly explain technical topics to engineers and non-engineers alike


• Strong familiarity with Git and GitHub-based development workflows

## Nice to haves:

• Infrastructure as code (Terraform) and AWS services (S3, CloudFront, etc) - experience operating and evolving team-owned deployment infrastructure


• Event-driven architectures


• Integrating independently deployed frontend modules into a cohesive application


• Building real-time collaborative editing features and conflict resolution


• Using AI tools to improve developer workflows or product capabilities
