About the Team

We'rea lean, high-leverage team at the heart of our engineering organization. We ship new product features, build the APIs that power our mobile and form-builder apps, own the React front end our customers use every day, run site reliability for our services, and partner with support to unblock customers. Claude Code and other AI coding assistants are part of our daily workflow, letting a small team deliver the output of a much larger one.

We are a flexible group that loves to trynew ideas, learn from failures, and celebrate successtogether. We work collaboratively in short cycles and deployproduction-ready code daily.

About the Role

We'rehiring a Software Engineer who is genuinelystrong on both the front end and the back end, and who has a strong interest inleveragingAI tools to multiply their effectiveness.You'llhelp set the technical direction of our product and raise the bar on how we build.

You'llwork across our React front end, which powers our form-builder and web forms and includes a shared Reactcomponentlibrary.You'llalso do real, hands-on server-side work in Java and Spring, and as our roadmap grows increasingly server-side (search and platform work), that backend capability is a requirement, not a bonus.Above all, youwork with AI rather than against it: AI-assisted development is central to how our team ships, and we want someone who pushes that frontier.

WhatYou'llDo

• Build and evolve our React front end, our form-builder, web forms, and sharedcomponentlibrary, using React, Redux/MobX, TypeScript, Jest, and CSS, following sound functional-programming and collective-ownership principles.

• Own front-end health: dependency and securityupgrades andpaying down front-end techdebt,so the codebase stays fast, safe, and easy to change.

• Build new roadmap features across the full stack in the coreTrueContextproduct (Java, Spring, JavaScript, MySQL, AWS), including upcoming server-side search and platform work.

• Use AI coding tools (e.g.Claude Code) daily as a core part of how you ship, for scaffolding features, exploring unfamiliar code, drafting tests, and triaging production incidents.

• Push our AI-forward SDLC frontier: evaluate and recommend new tools, agents, and practices

• Own delivery all the way to production: observability, safe rollbacks, and overall system health, improving site reliability, security, and performance.

• Engage fully in modern development practices: code reviews, pair programming, automated testing, and retrospectives on CI/CD and SRE trends, using tools like New Relic,SumoLogic, Snyk, and Docker.

• Work closely with Designers to build intuitive, high-quality capabilities into our web apps.

What You Bring (Must-Haves)

• Adeepcommand of modern front-end frameworks(React, JavaScript/TypeScript) with experience working on production-grade, customer-facing web applications.

• Real, hands-on backendexperience,preferablywith Java and Spring, with solid knowledge of relational databases (MySQL) and web application development.You'rea true full-stack contributor, not a front-end specialist whodabbles on the server side.

• AI-native ways of working.You activelyleverageAI tools as a forcemultiplier.

• Experience with a cloud platform; we use AWS.

• Comfortoperatingwith ambiguity and autonomy, and genuine ownership of delivery to production.

• A demonstrable knack for solving tough problems, with strong technical instincts and decision-making.

• A desire to continuously learn and improve, and the ability to ramp fast (we onboard with an AI-assisted curriculum built from our own codebase and internal walkthroughs).

• Strong collaboration and communication skills; a genuine team player.
