Youll spend your time architecting self-healing systems on GCP ensuring our kiosks running ChromeOS never skip a beat and leading the charge in modernizing our dev practices. You are a mentor who shows the team how to use AI agents to refactor codebases in minutes rather than weeks all while keeping a hawk-eye on code quality and system uptime.

What will you be doing

Youll be a core part of the Supersonic team: our self-service ecommerce platform that handles high-throughput transactions for some of the worlds biggest brands. When youre dealing with massive physical rollouts uptime isnt a buzzwordits the mission.

The role involves:

Architecting for Resilience: Building self-healing application architectures on GCP that can proactively manage edge-case failures at the kiosk level.

Edge Excellence: Deploying and managing high-performance React/Node apps to ChromeOS devices at the edge ensuring they are snappy and reliable.

Rapid Prototyping: Turning what if into here it is by using AI tools to quickly spin up new features and opportunities for our customers.

Technical Leadership: Conducting peer reviews that focus on architectural integrity ensuring that AI-generated code meets our high standards for security and scalability.

L3 Support: Assisting with high-level troubleshooting (with extra compensation for on-call) to keep the worlds kiosks humming.

Desired attributes & experience

The AI Edge: Youre a power user of modern AI coding tools. You dont just use them for snippets; you use them for multi-file refactors and autonomous debugging.

The Stack: A specialist in ReactJS and (both with TypeScript). You love clean type-safe code.

Edge Focus: Experience deploying to hardware at the edge specifically Google ChromeOS or similar locked-down environments.

Architectural Mindset: You think in terms of Self-Healing. Youve built systems that can recover from network drops or service outages without human intervention.

Infrastructure as Code: Experience with Pulumi or Terraform to keep our GCP environments consistent and reproducible.

Polished UI: You care about the feel. Experience with Tailwind Framer Motion or specialized data vis (D3) is a huge plus.

Mentorship: You enjoy levelling up the devs around you and sharing the latest pro-tips on how to get more out of our AI toolchain.

Core competencies

Technical Leverage: The ability to use AI to do the work of three people while maintaining the quality of a senior lead.

Problem Solving: You dont just fix bugs; you find out why they happened and build a system so they never happen again.

Communication: Clear concise and ego-free. Whether its in a Slack thread or a deep-dive architectural doc.

Speed & Agility: You thrive in an environment where we pivot quickly to grab new opportunities.
