• Design and build scalable, secure, production-grade applications and services.
• Develop across the stack using Java (Spring Boot) and React.
• Contribute to architecture, system design, and technical direction.
• Balance speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
• Improve observability, performance, and system reliability.
• Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Mentor engineers through code reviews, feedback, and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously improve tools, practices, and ways of working.
• Experience applying AI in production to solve real customer problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.

• Experience building modern SaaS or large-scale web applications
• Strong backend engineering skills (Java / Spring Boot)
• Frontend experience with React (or similar frameworks)
• Solid understanding of APIs, databases, and system design
• Experience with testing, CI/CD, and cloud environments (AWS preferred)
  
  

If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.
