  • Commitment to code quality, testing, and engineering excellence.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional-level knowledge of TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
  • Familiarity with AI-enhanced coding tools.
  • Experience building and automating data pipelines and scripting workflows.
  • Track record of improving team practices and helping other engineers succeed.
