About the role
This role is a Senior Fullstack Engineer who will report to the CTO and will be responsible primarily for building features to support our growth.
What does the role look like?
As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, you will primarily focus on building product features and integrating them end-to-end. This role demands a high bar for NodeJS proficiency and a solid understanding of databases. You will be responsible for building features, fixing bugs, writing tests, and shipping features quickly and reliably. You will work closely with our product and design team, taking Figma designs and architecting features from the ground up. This includes designing the database schema, determining necessary endpoints (REST or GraphQL), creating migrations, models, validations, writing comprehensive tests, and delivering a fully functional API swiftly and without bugs. Thorough testing is mandatory.
In addition to backend responsibilities, you will handle the data layer for the frontend, including data fetching and state management, allowing UI engineers to focus on the interface. You will also be involved in integrating with payment processors like Stripe and integrating other API's.
You will communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product, growth, and design, and will be proactive in solving user issues with minimal context.
