About This Opportunity
We're hiring a mid-level fullstack engineer (3+ years of experience) to own features end-to-end across our Django backend and React/TypeScript web apps.

What You'll Do
- Ship customer-facing features end-to-end: schema and API work in Django, React/TypeScript UI, tests, and rollout

- Share responsibility for production reliability by participating in the team's on-call rotation
What You'll Work With
- Backend: Python, Django, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, REST/JSON APIs serving web and native clients
- Frontend: React, Redux, TypeScript, server-side rendering
- Mobile: Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, Swift with SwiftUI
- Services & platform: Node.js services, AWS (EC2, S3, SQS, SES), Fastly, Nomad, Grafana
- Workflow: Git, CI/CD, code review on every change, automated testing
Who You Are
- 3+ years of professional fullstack experience shipping production code
- Fluency with Git, CI/CD, and writing tests as part of the development loop
- Active daily use of AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent) as a core part of your workflow
- Working experience with Python and Django, comfortable with ORM modeling, REST API design, and writing efficient Postgres queries
- Working experience with React and TypeScript, comfortable with component architecture, state management, and browser performance basics
- Prior experience participating in an on-call rotation for a production service, comfortable triaging incidents, paging in help when needed, and writing follow-up postmortems
- Clear written communication skills (to work most effectively in a fully remote environment)
Bonus Skills
- Experience with marketplace, two-sided, or proptech products
- Production experience with AWS or another major cloud provider
- Node.js services experience
- Track record of contributing to RFCs, design docs, or technical proposals
- Experience mentoring junior engineers or running code reviews as a teaching moment
