This is a high-impact role where your code ships to production quickly and handles real money from day one. You'll collaborate closely with Product to shape what we build, with fellow engineers on how we build it, and have significant ownership over the systems you create.

Collaborate with Product and Design to translate requirements into elegant technical solutions
Balance speed of delivery with code quality and long-term maintainability
Improve How We Work
Contribute to technical decisions around architecture, tooling, and best practices
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
