Main Tasks & Responsibilities 💡
• Own end-to-end delivery of internal tools — from product idea, through architecture and implementation, to production deployment and ongoing maintenance.
• Translate operational and business problems into working software, often from rough briefs rather than detailed specifications.
• Work as a full-stack contributor: build frontends (React/TypeScript), backends (Node.js/Express), and data layers (PostgreSQL) — without handing parts off.
• Use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, or similar) as a genuine productivity multiplier — not just to autocomplete.
• Make pragmatic architecture decisions and document them, so the next person (or the next AI agent) can pick up where you left off.
• Deploy and operate services on Google Cloud Platform: Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Secret Manager, and related services.
• Partner directly with the Optimization team’s Director and analysts to shape what gets built, in what order, and at what depth.
• Integrate with internal and external systems (Foodics Pay, Salesforce, Wathq, Metabase) via APIs and webhooks.
• Take responsibility for the production health of what you build — including monitoring, incident response, and cybersecurity considerations.
• Mentor and unblock other engineers and AI-assisted contributors working on the same codebases, including reviewing pull requests.
• Continuously improve the development workflow — CI, branch protection, secret management, staging environments — so the team moves faster and safer over time.
