• Full-Stack Development: Design, develop, and maintain both the server-side logic and the user-facing elements. This includes creating robust APIs and building dynamic, responsive web interfaces.
• Translate Complexity into Code: Convert intricate business logic, validation rules, and state management requirements into well-structured, efficient, and thoroughly tested code.
• Champion Code Quality: Drive best practices for code quality through rigorous code reviews, comprehensive unit and integration testing, and clear documentation. Your goal is to build a codebase that is a pleasure for others to work on.
• Database Design: Design and manage relational database schemas (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL) that are efficient, scalable, and accurately model our business domain.
• Ask Questions & Solve Problems: Actively participate in technical discussions, ask clarifying questions, and work with the team to troubleshoot and resolve issues across the application.
• Proactive Improvement: Actively identify and address potential architectural weaknesses or technical debt, continuously improving the long-term health of the application.

Qualifications & Work Experience

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. (e.g. significant personal projects)
• For recent graduates: Internship experience or projects that demonstrate a strong aptitude for programming and problem-solving are highly valued. A link to your GitHub or portfolio is a plus.
• For experienced candidates: Proven experience as a Software Engineer, with examples of projects that involved translating business requirements into clean, functional code.
• A genuine passion for software development and a strong desire to learn.
