  • Own systems end-to-end - from database schema to API design to UI across multiple services

  • Analyze impact before acting - understand how changes propagate through interconnected services data pipelines and scheduled jobs before committing to an approach

  • Improve what exists - identify bottlenecks reduce fragility expand test coverage and modernize legacy code pragmatically

  • Design for reliability - build systems that handle failure gracefully with proper observability error handling and recovery

  • Set technical direction - establish patterns review architecture and raise the engineering bar for the team

Tech Stack:

  • Backend: Express TypeScript

  • Frontend: React Vite Tailwind CSS

  • Databases: MongoDB MySQL

  • Caching: Redis

  • Infrastructure: Docker cloud deployment (DigitalOcean) Turborepo Monorepo

  • Scheduling: Cron-based job orchestration

  • Hands-on with Docker cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines

  • Experience with Monorepo architecture and multi-service systems

  • Demonstrated ability to make technical decisions independently - weighing tradeoffs assessing blast radius and communicating rationale clearly

  • Strong impact analysis skills - you think through second-order effects before making changes to production systems

  • Experience with web scraping proxy rotation and third-party API integration at scale

  • Familiarity with Redis caching and scheduled job orchestration

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with AWS services (EC2 ECS Lambda RDS S3 CloudWatch or similar)

  • Familiarity with Kubernetes - container orchestration deployments scaling and cluster management

  • Experience with observability platforms (Datadog or similar)

  • Background in e-commerce marketplace integrations or dynamic pricing systems

  • Experience leading small engineering teams

AI Usage:

AI tools are a core part of how we work:

  • Claude Code and Cursor are used daily for development - code generation refactoring debugging and architectural reasoning

  • We expect you to be proficient with AI-assisted development and use it to move faster without sacrificing quality

  • Experience applying AI/ML to business problems (optimization forecasting anomaly detection) is a plus

Who You Are:

  • You think before you build. You ask what breaks if this changes before writing code

  • You communicate decisions clearly - to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders

  • You take ownership of outcomes not just tasks

  • Youre pragmatic - you ship working solutions and improve iteratively rather than chasing perfection

  • Youre comfortable with ambiguity and can turn vague problems into concrete plans
