TL;DR · Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

As a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will guide full-stack development for a creative platform designed for large-scale, design-focused workflows. You will bridge interactive frontend interfaces and robust backend systems by establishing architecture, defining long-term technical solutions, and mentoring team members through code reviews and knowledge sharing. Your daily work involves building responsive, visually rich frontends using React and component-based architectures while engineering high-performance, reliable backend services in languages like Node.js, Java, Python, or Go. You will manage infrastructure on Kubernetes-based clusters, oversee CI/CD pipelines, and lead the adoption of AI-assisted tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. This role solves complex problems by translating ambiguous requirements into production-ready features for a platform requiring high reliability, fault tolerance, and sophisticated design fidelity across both client and backend systems.

What you'll do

  • Establish architecture and coding standards for both client and backend systems.
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into well-scoped technical approaches and production-ready features.
  • Build high-fidelity, responsive frontend interfaces using modern web frameworks and component architectures.
  • Architect scalable backend services focused on performance, reliability, and fault tolerance.
  • Manage deployment strategies and infrastructure on Kubernetes-based clusters.
  • Lead the adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools like Claude Code and Cursor across the team.
  • Improve developer experience by optimizing CI/CD pipelines and internal tooling.
  • Mentor engineers through code reviews and technical knowledge sharing.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience developing and delivering production-quality full-stack systems for complex products.
  • Proficiency in modern frontend development using frameworks like React to build high-performance, design-heavy UIs.
  • Experience building scalable backend services using Node.js, Java, Python, Go, or similar technologies.
  • Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes-based infrastructure including container orchestration and cluster management.
  • Practical experience with AI-supported engineering tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
  • Proficiency in CI/CD practices and developing tools to improve developer experience and team productivity.
  • Strong communication skills to articulate technical decisions to both engineering and product collaborators.
