Full-Stack Developer
About the Role
We’re looking for a Full-Stack Developer who is excited to build scalable, resilient systems and elegant user experiences at an early-stage startup. You’ll own features end-to-end — from design and architecture to implementation and refactoring — while balancing immediate delivery with long-term technical health.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has a proactive mindset, and wants to shape both product and engineering foundations.
Responsibilities
Design and implement new features across frontend and backend.
Architect systems thoughtfully (DB schema, internal communication, data flows) to enable feature scalability and robustness.
Take ownership of delivering individual features end-to-end.
Monitor tech debt and drive proactive refactoring.
Make smart trade-offs between speed and scalability when implementing features.
Continuously refine systems to support future growth.
Requirements
Must-Haves
Full-stack development capability (even if frontend-leaning).
If experienced, at least 2 years tenure at a single organization is preferred.
History of internal promotion is strongly preferred.
Proactive in identifying problems before they occur and taking action.
High intrinsic intelligence with the ability to make sound short-term and long-term technical decisions.
Preferred Qualifications
Excitement about working in an early-stage startup.
