- Conduct rigorous code and design reviews
- Develop and maintain authoritative technical documentation
- Own the technical design of major platform initiatives
- Partner closely with peers and technical leaders on platform roadmap decisions
- Ensure that system design decisions account for security, reliability, observability, and compliance requirements
- Serve as the primary technical mentor for less experienced engineers on the team
- Contribute to onboarding frameworks and internal technical learning resources
- Partner with Product, QA, and Operations stakeholders on technical requirements
Requirements:
- Minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field; advanced degree preferred

- Expert-level proficiency in system design, including distributed systems, microservices architecture, API design, cloud infrastructure patterns, and reliability engineering
- Experience with component-based frameworks like React or Vue and an ability to identify and architect reusable components for varied use-cases is required
- Experience writing front end code using JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, ARIA and other related user interface technologies is required
- Understanding of asynchronous request handling, partial page updates, HTTP, AJAX, and REST
- Understanding of fundamental design principles behind a scalable web application
- Experience with front-end build/config management, such as yarn/npm, webpack (or similar tools like rollup/parcel), and testing tools like Jasmine, Karma, Mocha, Enzyme, Jest, etc is preferred
- Proven track record of mentoring and elevating less experienced engineers through technical engagement, feedback, and knowledge-sharing without requiring formal management authority
- Experience or interest in AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) is a nice to have; we support and encourage growth in this area
Benefits:
- 100% Remote position
- Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
