- Lead code reviews, mentor junior developers, and establish engineering best practices that elevate team capabilities
- Operate strategically and dive into implementation details—balancing high-level architecture decisions with hands-on problem-solving
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience building and maintaining backend systems at scale (intermediate level or above)
- Strong foundation in backend development languages and frameworks (specific tech stack to be discussed with hiring team)
- Ability to think strategically about system design while maintaining hands-on coding proficiency
- Experience with AI/automation tools and a commitment to leveraging them for development efficiency
- Excellent communication skills and experience working cross-functionally with mobile, web, and data teams
What You’ll Get

- 100% remote position—work from anywhere with flexible arrangements
- Multiple seniority levels available: intermediate, senior, and staff+ roles to match your experience
- Opportunity to shape the technical direction and architecture of a mission-driven platform serving millions
- Collaborative culture that values both strategic leadership and deep technical expertise
