About the role
This is a backend-leaning fullstack role, and a high-volume learning one. You'll build and ship features end to end — from the data model through the API to the screen someone actually uses — writing a lot of code and getting a lot of review. You'll be trusted with production early and work on real problems from your first week. The goal for your first year is simple: to become someone the team can hand an ambiguous problem to.
What you'll do
- Build and ship well-scoped features end to end, including the data model, the API, and the interface that consumes it.
- Deploy to production several times a week, starting with small changes and growing into larger ones.
- Debug production issues by reading logs, traces and stack traces, and get to the root cause rather than to a workaround.
- Build the frontend for the features you own — clean, usable, with the loading, empty and error states actually handled rather than left for later.
- Write tests that would genuinely catch the bug you're worried about.
- Participate in code review on both sides: have your work critiqued, and learn to critique others'.
- Ask questions early and often. Being stuck quietly for a day is the only real mistake here.
What we're looking for
- At least 1 year of full-time experience.
- Strong fundamentals in at least one programming language. We don't mind which.
- Working knowledge of SQL and relational data modelling.
- Comfort building a working, decent-looking interface for what you build. You don't need to have been a frontend engineer, but you should be able to tell good UI from bad and care about the difference.
- Evidence that you've built something real and finished it — a project with actual users, a substantial internship contribution, or an open-source PR that survived review.
- Debugging instinct: when something breaks, you form a hypothesis instead of changing things at random.
- Comfort using AI coding tools, and equal comfort being asked to explain any line of the output.
