  • Build platform-level microservices: Design and scale Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers and microservices powering maps, search, user dashboards, and preferences across web and mobile platforms.

  • Elevate developer experience: Empower ~20 feature teams by modernizing monorepo tooling, CI automation, migration pathways, and frontend architectural conventions.

  • Pioneer AI-first engineering: Integrate advanced AI development tools like Cursor and Claude Code across the engineering lifecycle to optimize workflows and boost technical velocity.

  • Champion architectural excellence: Architect resilient, decoupled systems leveraging hexagonal architecture, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), event-driven patterns, and micro-frontends.

  • Mentor and elevate engineering craft: Guide crew members through technical documentation, code reviews, frontend chapter presentations, and biweekly developer sessions.

Experience & Background

    What you'll need (Must-haves)

    • Senior fullstack engineering experience: Proven track record of architecting, building, and operating production web applications and microservices at scale.

    • Core technical stack proficiency: Mastery of TypeScript across the stack, modern frontend frameworks (Vue 3, React), and backend services using Node.js.

    • Platform & API architecture: Deep experience with REST/GraphQL APIs, microservices, Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) patterns, and data persistence (PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Kafka).

    • Pragmatic delivery & platform mindset: Eagerness to balance high architectural quality with rapid, iterative product delivery that enables both end-users and developer teams.

    • AI-assisted engineering approach: Active hands-on experience utilizing AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate daily engineering workflows.

      • Nice-to-haves

      • Specialized web technologies: Experience with Mapbox, GraphQL schema federation, Python, or Scala.

      • Advanced architecture & tooling: Practical experience with monorepos, micro-frontends, hexagonal architecture, or Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
