• Participate in an on-call rotation and be operationally responsible for the services that you ship along with your teammates.
• Mentor junior team members by providing both technical and career guidance.

What you’ll have

• Minimum of 5 – 7 years of professional experience working on a team in full stack software development with backend and frontend deliverables. Experience in both backend and front-end is expected. Mastery of both is not.

• Experience styling paging using CSS, SASS, or Less.
• Experience with SpringBoot, NextJS and React. 
• A track record of continuous learning and problem-solving.
• Experience building front-end or backend services on a cloud platform (GCP, AWS, Azure, etc)
• Experience in building scalable distributed systems
• Knowledge of Web Application Security, such as cookies, CORS, XSS, and CSP.
• Knowledge of cryptography, network security, or authentication/authorization standards.

Nice to have

• Experience with GraphQL.
