  • Raise engineering quality through design reviews, code reviews, CI/CD, and documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4+ years of full-stack engineering experience after a bachelor’s degree, or a master’s plus 3+ years, or a PhD in a relevant field.
  • Professional experience building, shipping, and supporting production-grade, end-to-end web applications.
  • Hands-on experience with a modern front-end framework, back-end services, relational databases, and system integrations.
  • Strong full-stack development skills using JavaScript or TypeScript and a modern front-end framework like React, Angular, or Vue.
  • Experience developing backend services and APIs using Java, Python, Go, or Node.js.
  • Sound understanding of application architecture, object-oriented and domain-driven design, distributed systems, and common integration patterns.
  • Experience with finance, ERP, MRP, MES, PLM, warehouse management, procurement, or supply-chain applications (preferred).
