• Maintain and enhance existing products, including feature improvements and bug fixes
• Support production systems and participate in the on‑call rotation (“you build it, you run it”)
• Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning

Who we’re looking for

You’re a collaborative engineer who enjoys solving problems at scale and takes ownership of the systems you build. Ideally, you’ll have:

• Strong skills in one or more of our core languages: Scala, Java, Kotlin, or TypeScript

• Experience working across the stack, from frontend to backend systems and data pipelines
• Experience delivering product features end‑to‑end, including deployment and operational support
• Confidence working in agile, fast‑paced environments with a focus on quality and reliability
• Familiarity with DevOps and cloud tooling such as Docker, Git, CI/CD, GCP, and/or AWS
• An understanding of how to build systems that scale for large user bases
• Mobile development experience or data engineering exposure (nice to have)
