• Build scalable, secure, and performant systems using modern JS frameworks (React, Next.js, Node.js, Nest.js, etc.).
• Own and evolve backend services, including APIs, business logic, authentication, and integrations.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and AI teams to ship user-facing features quickly and reliably.
• Ensure technical quality through thoughtful code reviews, tests, and documentation.
• Set direction on engineering best practices, including CI/CD, observability, testing, and versioning.
• Optimize both front-end and server-side performance and scalability.
• Mentor and collaborate with other engineers to elevate the entire engineering organization.
