Software Developer

• The role of the Software Developer is to design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks, etc.
• You will assist in building, maintaining, and enhancing server-side applications, focusing on performance, scalability, and security.

• You will work alongside experienced developers to contribute to various web and backend projects, gaining hands-on experience and knowledge in modern software development practices.

Experience

• 3+ yrs professional software development, with experience contributing to production software
• Has shipped and supported features in a production system

Core must have

• Reliable REST API development - implements endpoints, validation, pagination, and clear error responses
• Full-stack capability - can deliver defined work across backend + frontend and understands the request flow
• Solid PostgreSQL skills - writes queries and understands schema changes, indexes, and migrations with review
• Cloud/infra familiarity (AWS preferred) - deploys services with guidance, reads logs and metrics, and troubleshoots common issues
• Strong engineering fundamentals - readable code, testing, security basics, CI/CD, Git, and constructive code review

AI assisted development important for us

• Works effectively with AI coding tools (Claude / Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) as part of daily workflow
• Knows how to prompt, guide, and review AI output and applies project conventions rather than accepting it uncritically
• Can verify and take ownership of AI-generated code: tests it, catches obvious bugs and bad patterns, and raises uncertainty early
• Good judgment on when to use AI to accelerate well-scoped work and when to work through the problem directly

Language stance

• We work in TypeScript / Next.js, but we are language agnostic - engineers from Python, Go, Java, C#, etc. who learn quickly are welcome. Prior JS/TS or React/Next.js is a plus, not required.

Nice to have

• AWS specifics: Lambda, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, IaC (Terraform/CDK)
• Practical testing and debugging - unit or integration tests, root-cause analysis, and safe fixes
• Observability, performance awareness, and a willingness to learn cloud cost basics

Soft skills

• Clear async + verbal communicator; works well with product, design, and ops
• Ownership mindset - moves well-defined features through implementation, review, and delivery
• Pragmatic and coachable; asks for feedback early and balances speed vs. quality
