Full Job Description
What you'll do
  • Design, build, and ship reliable software that delivers real business value
  • Contribute across the full lifecycle: discovery, development, and delivery
  • Collaborate with product and stakeholders to understand problems and shape practical solutions
  • Write clean, testable code and improve existing systems with a focus on maintainability
  • Build and support integrations with external platforms (APIs, third-party services)
  • Participate in discovery by asking questions, validating assumptions, and refining solutions
  • Balance speed and quality in a fast-moving environment
  • Use data, logs, and feedback to debug issues and improve performance

What we're looking for
  • Solid experience with modern web development (Vue.js, PHP/Laravel, MySQL, DynamoDB or similar)
  • Hands-on experience working with APIs, integrations, and troubleshooting production issues
  • Developing product sense: you think beyond tickets and consider user and business impact

  • Strong communication: raises issues early, collaborates well, and seeks feedback
  • Demonstrates ownership of tasks and follows through to completion
  • Curious and motivated to learn, including exposure to AI and new technologies

How we work

We operate under a global technology model that connects discovery (building to learn) with delivery (building to earn). Engineers contribute to both-helping ensure we're building the right things and building them well.

You'll be expected to:
  • Understand the "why" behind your work
  • Contribute to solution design, not just implementation
  • Help reduce rework by validating ideas early

What success looks like
  • You consistently deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight
  • You ask the right questions and improve clarity for yourself and the team
  • You start influencing how things are built, not just executing tasks
  • You improve systems, not just maintain them

Who you are
  • You take ownership but know when to ask for help
  • You want to grow into a senior engineer role
  • You're pragmatic, curious, and focused on outcomes
  • You're comfortable being challenged and improving continuously

Benefits
  • Competitive compensation and full health coverage
  • 401k and matching
  • Dental & Vision
  • Flexible time off
  • High-impact work with real ownership
