We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
We’re hiring fullstack engineers (SDE-2 through Staff) to own this surface end-to-end: from rich, reactive frontends to backend services and workflows that power them.
What changes across levels is scope, ambiguity, and influence — but at every level, you’ll write code, ship product, and operate across the frontend-backend boundary.
Key Responsibilities
Frontend Development
Design and build intuitive, high-quality user interfaces that handle complex workflows — task tracking, state transitions, approvals, and user actions.
Senior and Staff engineers define reusable patterns and UI primitives for teams.
Fullstack Feature Ownership
Own features across the stack:
Build React frontends
Design and implement APIs
Ensure seamless integration between UI and backend systems
SDE-2s execute with guidance, Seniors own end-to-end design, Staff engineers define system-wide patterns.
Backend & Service Layer
Build and evolve backend services that support:
Long-running workflows
State management and persistence
Error handling and fallback strategies
Scalable API design
Real-Time & Event-Driven Systems
Implement real-time patterns using WebSockets, SSE, or async workflows:
Live updates
Progress tracking
Partial results and responsiveness
Make tradeoffs around latency, consistency, and user experience.
User Control & Workflow Design
Build systems that allow users to:
Review and approve actions
Override system decisions
Intervene in workflows when needed
Senior+ engineers help define how control, automation, and usability are balanced.
Performance & Reliability
Optimize across the stack:
UI performance and rendering
Backend query efficiency
Caching and throughput
System reliability and observability
Senior and Staff engineers define SLOs and performance standards.
Code Quality & Mentorship
Write clean, testable, maintainable code
Participate in code reviews
Mentor junior engineers (Senior+)
Establish engineering standards (Staff)
Cross-Team Technical Leadership (Senior & Staff)
Collaborate across frontend, backend, data, and platform teams to:
Define shared patterns and abstractions
Resolve architectural ambiguity
Align engineering decisions with product goals
Staff engineers drive org-wide technical direction.
The SDE-2 level typically requires 3–5 years of full-stack experience, with strong skills in React and TypeScript on the frontend and experience with API design and basic database concepts on the backend. Candidates should have exposure to complex workflows, be familiar with asynchronous and real-time patterns, understand user flows, and execute well-scoped work effectively. Communication should be clear and structured.
The Senior level generally requires 5–8 years of full-stack experience, along with deep React expertise and strong backend systems knowledge, including queues, caching, and authentication. Candidates are expected to have built production-grade systems and demonstrate strong architectural judgment, particularly around real-time systems. They should be capable of designing for edge cases, evaluating tradeoffs, making independent technical decisions, and clearly communicating those tradeoffs across teams.
The Staff level typically requires 9+ years of full-stack experience and expert-level frontend architecture skills. Candidates should have deep expertise in distributed systems and infrastructure design, with experience designing large-scale systems and defining real-time infrastructure patterns. They are expected to shape both product and technology direction, provide organization-level technical leadership, and effectively bridge business, product, and engineering teams.
Nice to Have
Experience with real-time UI updates and streaming data
Familiarity with system evaluation and testing frameworks
Experience in high-stakes domains (fintech, logistics, etc.)
Contributions to open-source or internal tooling
Experience scaling systems from early stage to maturity (Staff)
Must-have skills
ReactJS, Javascript
