We’re stoked to meet you and get to learn more about you, your experience and your interest in joining our team.
•
Proven track record operating with Staff-level ownership: minimal spec, driving a technical decision or migration end-to-end across multiple systems or teams, influencing engineering decisions outside your own team.
•
Fluent daily use of AI coding tools, with the judgment to tell a plausible-looking result from a correct one. You can explain what you accomplish with them and where your own value comes in.
•
Strong troubleshooting in an unfamiliar codebase. You can read a stack trace or a failing test back to its cause, in TypeScript or PHP, without someone walking you through the system first.
•
8+ years building production web applications, with hands-on experience shipping and maintaining both PHP (CodeIgniter 4 or a comparable MVC framework) and TypeScript with React.
•
Experience owning a revenue-critical, customer-facing system in production: reading logs and metrics, triaging escalations, and following incidents through to a fix.
•
Hands-on experience with BigQuery on Google Cloud or another columnar warehouse, including writing analytical queries and being aware of their cost, plus comfort with MySQL schema design and migrations.
•
Testing discipline across unit and end-to-end suites, and the habit of doing your own QA rather than handing it off.
•
Solid understanding of secure coding fundamentals for systems that handle buyer and order data, including the OWASP Top 10 — this touches payment flows and customer data, so sound judgment here matters.
•
A track record with orchestration and building platform-wide, componentized systems.
•
A strong fit for remote-first, high-autonomy culture: fast, present, and responsive on Slack during working hours.
•
Educational background in CS / Engineering or a similar area, or equivalent experience.
