You will join a cross-functional and experienced team composed of two frontend engineers, a product manager and a product designer. The team functions as a cohesive unit that prioritizes accountability, collaborative ownership, and clear communication in pursuit of shared goals. We value a product-oriented mindset, thoughtful experimentation, and a user-first approach grounded in data.

We are seeking a backend engineer with a strong product mindset to contribute to the technical direction of the team and help build scalable systems that enable engaging user experiences. This role will focus on JavaScript backend-stack development, with the opportunity to evolve into a full-stack position.

What You Will Do

• Participate in pair programming and code reviews to learn best practices and improve your technical skills.
• Work alongside team members to enhance processes, systems, and tools.
• Contribute to outcomes-driven experiments using modern continuous delivery practices and tools.
• Be involved end-to-end in product development, from need exploration and feature ideation to implementation and data analysis, including AI usage for personalizing onboarding experiences.
• Contribute to the team’s medium-term goal of merging three onboarding products into one, involving user migration and exposure to the full technical and product spectrum.

• Ideally around 4 years of experience in front-end and back-end development. Proficient with component-based architectures using React, and back-end development with Node.js or NestJS. Exposure to Python is a plus.
