The ideal candidate is highly autonomous, product-minded, and comfortable navigating a mature codebase without heavy oversight.

Key Responsibilities

• Own features end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, testing, and iteration
• Work across the stack to build backend integrations, APIs, and data flows when required
• Independently scope, prioritize, and execute projects with minimal direction
• Improve site performance, accessibility, and core web vitals
• Collaborate with product and design to translate requirements into intuitive, well-crafted interfaces
• Debug production issues across frontend and backend systems
• Maintain high standards for code quality, testing, and maintainability

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, with strong frontend expertise
• Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript)
• Solid experience with backend systems (APIs, relational/non-relational databases)
• Strong understanding of web performance and accessibility best practices
• Ability to navigate and contribute across a full stack codebase independently
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with marketplace or logistics platforms
• Experience with experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, feature flags, analytics instrumentation)
• Experience working in small, high-ownership teams or startups

Working Style

• High ownership and autonomy
• Strong product mindset
• Comfortable operating with multiple stakeholders
• Pragmatic decision-making with a bias toward shipping and iterating

What Success Looks Like

• Rapid delivery of high-impact frontend features that improve usability and engagement
• Ability to independently ship features across the stack without bottlenecks
• Strong collaboration with product and design to turn ideas into shipped experiences
• Measurable improvements in key product metrics (performance, conversion, retention)
