About CINC

About the role

What you will do

• Design, build, and maintain high-quality web applications using TypeScript, Node.js, and frameworks such as React, Next.js, or NestJS.
• Drive the evolution of CINC's architecture from monolith to modular microservices, applying sound system design and domain-driven thinking and defining service boundaries across teams.
• Develop and consume RESTful and GraphQL APIs with a strong grasp of service boundaries, contract design, and versioning, and establish API standards that other teams adopt.
• Implement event-driven and message-based integrations that improve scalability, resilience, and decoupling.
• Apply modern engineering practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, and continuous delivery.
• Partner with design and product to turn complex requirements into simple, usable features.
• Practice code review, pair programming, and iterative delivery in line with Extreme Programming (XP) values.
• Bring Cephai-powered capabilities into user-facing features by integrating APIs and shared AI services where they help people do the work.
• Mentor and grow senior and mid-level engineers, raising the bar on system design, testing, and clean code across teams.
• Lead technical discussions on architecture, reliability, and performance, and influence decisions that affect multiple teams.
• Lead technical design and delivery of cross-team initiatives, breaking ambiguous problems into clear plans and aligning stakeholders on trade-offs.

What you bring

• 7+ years of software engineering experience building production web applications or SaaS products.
• Deep fluency in TypeScript and JavaScript, with frameworks such as React, Next.js, or NestJS.
• Deep expertise in backend architecture, including monolith decomposition, microservice principles, and API design best practices.
• A proven record of designing and maintaining RESTful or GraphQL APIs with clear contracts and documentation at scale.
• Working knowledge of modern DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, observability, and containerized deployments.
• Familiarity with cloud environments such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Solid experience with automated testing frameworks and test-driven development (TDD).
• Experience making and documenting architectural decisions (such as ADRs) that balance scalability, cost, and maintainability.

• Clear communication of design choices and technical trade-offs to engineers, product managers, designers, and senior stakeholders, and the ability to influence decisions across teams.
• Demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-team initiatives from idea to deployment, balancing speed with quality.
• Experience in cross-functional teams, leading architectural discussions and reviews.
• A learning-first mindset, with curiosity about new frameworks, design patterns, and AI-driven development.
• A record of mentoring engineers and raising technical standards without relying on formal management authority.

Nice to have

• Experience integrating AI-powered services such as chatbots, copilots, or search assistants.
• Familiarity with LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or similar).
• Background in event-driven architecture or streaming systems such as Kafka, SNS/SQS, or Pub/Sub.
• Exposure to vector databases or retrieval-augmented workflows.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and container orchestration (Terraform, Docker).
• Previous work on XP or Agile teams that practice pairing, refactoring, and continuous integration.

Mindset and values

• A builder's mindset with a bias for simplicity, quality, and customer value.
• A clear communicator who values collaboration, feedback, and mentorship.
• A learning-first attitude, with interest in emerging technologies and continuous improvement.
• A pragmatic approach: you balance short-term delivery with long-term system health and make sound trade-offs under ambiguity.
• Respect for the people behind the software. Our users are community association managers, board members, and residents, and our AI recommends while people decide.

What success looks like

• Features ship quickly, safely, and predictably, with measurable gains in performance and user satisfaction.
• Systems move from tightly coupled to modular and maintainable, guided by your technical direction.
• You are a trusted technical leader who raises standards across teams through architecture, communication, and collaboration.
• CINC's full-stack engineering teams move faster, with greater clarity and confidence.
• Engineers around you grow in capability and independence, and the cross-team initiatives you lead land with clarity and minimal rework.
• The work gets Less Tedious. More Meaningful. for the people who use CINC every day.
