About This Role:
We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who ships fast, thinks clearly, and solves real problems. No fluff. No red tape. Just strong engineers building software that matters.
What You'll Do:
- Own features end-to-end — from backend API design to frontend implementation to production
- Write clean, scalable, maintainable code across the full stack
- Identify and fix performance and reliability bottlenecks in both frontend and backend
- Work closely with product, design, and ops to ship pragmatically
- Make informed technical decisions about when to go deep vs. when to keep it simple
- Tech Stack
- Backend (Key Focus)
- FastAPI — you'll build APIs with this daily
- Pydantic — data validation and serialization is critical
- Python, goFrontendReact, Next.jsTypeScriptZustand, Tailwind CSSWhat You Bring 8-10+ years of hands-on engineering experience across full stack development
- Strong depth in Python/Go AND TypeScript/JS — not just "familiar" with both
- Solid experience with FastAPI and Pydantic — you know these tools deeply
- Experience building and scaling production systems — you understand tradeoffs between backend and frontend
- Sharp problem-solving skills — frameworks are tools, not the point
- Clear communicator with low ego, high ownership
- Able to juggle priorities without hand-holding — from database schema design to UI polish
Nice to Have:
- Experience with AWS, infra, or performance optimization
- Strong opinions on system design (and the ability to defend them)
- Experience with database optimization and query performance
- Side projects or open-source work you're proud ofUnderstanding of both relational and non-relational data patterns
- Familiarity with SQLAlchemy (nice to have, not a blocker)
