The Impact You'll Make

As a Fullstack Engineer on Nextdoor's Local Conversations team, you'll join the Rewards & Incentives pod and help build product experiences that encourage meaningful participation in neighborhood communities. You'll work across the frontend and backend, with a strong focus on building high-quality web experiences using React and Python/Django.

You'll contribute to two evolving product areas to start. This is a highly hands-on engineering role. You'll contribute to entity-relationship modeling, solution architecture, implementation, testing, and iteration, while partnering with product, design, and engineering teammates.

You'll also participate in team operating practices, including a gradual on-call shadow rotation after onboarding and ramp-up. The team will review role-specific expectations with candidates during the hiring process.

What You'll Bring to The Team
  • Experience building and shipping software in a production environment
  • Strong frontend fundamentals and experience with modern JavaScript and React. This is an important part of the role
  • Experience with a server-side web application language; Python/Django experience is strongly preferred

  • Ability to break down product requirements, collaborate on technical approaches, and implement maintainable solutions
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Ability to be flexible and adaptable in a dynamic environment
  • Interest in contributing ideas and product perspective, not just executing predefined tasks
  • 2+ years of software development experience and a demonstrated ability to own projects with increasing independence. Level will be determined based on experience and demonstrated proficiency
  • Experience with Storybook or other component-driven development practices is a plus
  • Eagerness to explore and apply AI tools and emerging technologies to reimagine how work gets done
  • Willingness to participate in in-person Nextdoor events such as trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and team building exercises, as applicable to your location
  • Interest in building relationships with teammates and contributing to Nextdoor's culture
