About The Role
The role builds features across a React web application, Node.js and Python APIs, and PostgreSQL data layer.
You will own features end-to-end - from technical design through deployment and monitoring. How you think and what you ship matters more than which frameworks you have used.
Key Responsibilities
- Build user-facing features in React and TypeScript, working closely with product designers to translate wireframes into polished, accessible interfaces
- Design and implement REST APIs in Node.js (Express/Fastify) or Python (FastAPI/Django), including authentication, authorization, and performance considerations
- Write complex SQL queries and design schemas in PostgreSQL; work with Redis for caching and session management
- Write comprehensive unit and integration tests; maintain high test coverage as a baseline expectation
- Participate meaningfully in code reviews - both giving and receiving feedback as a growth tool
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions; deploy services to AWS using containerized (Docker, ECS/EKS) workflows
- Proactively identify technical debt, propose improvements, and take ownership of delivering on commitments
What We Are Looking For
- 1–4 years of professional software engineering experience, with evidence of shipping production features
- React and TypeScript on the frontend; Node.js or Python on the backend - you do not need both, but you need to be excellent at one and credible in the other
- SQL proficiency: you can write joins, aggregations, and subqueries without reaching for an ORM every time
- Familiarity with REST API design patterns, HTTP fundamentals, and basic security practices (auth, input validation)
- Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows
- BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent - candidates are evaluated on demonstrated skill, not pedigree
- Bonus: AWS, TypeScript, Redis, Kafka, fintech domain knowledge, or contributions to open-source projects
