  • Break down projects, manage dependencies, and ensure timely delivery.
  • Architect and maintain efficient backend systems.
  • Participate in code reviews, write and review code, and lead by example in design quality.

Your Profile

  • 7+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years in a leadership role.
  • Proficient in Typescript, Node.js, or similar backend languages.
  • Experience with cloud platforms and modern software practices.
