Full Stack Developer

We're a fast-moving startup looking for a high-performing full stack developer who thrives on autonomy and wants to grow into technical leadership. This isn't a role where you'll be told exactly what to do—we need someone who can take ambiguous problems, figure out the right approach, and deliver results with minimal hand-holding.

You'll work directly with our CTO, own significant features end-to-end, and have a clear path to leading a team as we scale.

The right person for this role:

• Takes ownership of problems, not just tasks
• Asks smart questions upfront rather than spinning wheels or waiting for direction
• Balances speed with sustainability—knows when to take shortcuts and when to build properly
• Communicates proactively, especially when things aren't going to plan
• Has strong opinions loosely held—contributes to technical decisions while staying open to feedback
• Is genuinely curious about building scalable systems and wants to level up

• Own features end-to-end: From understanding requirements through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring
• Make technical decisions: Evaluate tradeoffs, choose approaches, and communicate rationale to the team
• Build for scale: Write maintainable code that can evolve with business needs without accumulating excessive debt
• Drive improvements: Identify inefficiencies in code, processes, or tooling and take initiative to fix them
• Contribute to architecture: Participate in system design discussions and help shape technical direction
• Mentor as we grow: Help onboard future team members and establish engineering standards

• 3-5 years of full stack development experience with demonstrated ownership of significant features or projects
• Strong backend skills in Python/Django (FastAPI experience is a plus)
• Solid frontend experience with React ecosystem, preferably Next.js with TypeScript
• Database proficiency: Can design schemas, write efficient queries, and optimize performance
• DevOps fundamentals: Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployment
• Testing discipline: Writes tests as part of development, not as an afterthought
• Clear communication: Can explain technical concepts, document decisions, and provide concise status updates
• Track record of independence: Evidence of delivering results without constant supervision

• Experience optimizing application performance (caching, query optimization, frontend performance)
• Exposure to system architecture and scalability challenges
• Background in fast-paced startup or agency environments
• Open source contributions or side projects that demonstrate initiative
• Experience mentoring junior developers or leading small projects
• Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and debugging production systems

• Direct access to CTO: Regular 1:1s, architectural discussions, and mentorship focused on your growth
• Leadership trajectory: Clear path to tech lead role as the team scales
• High-impact work: Your contributions directly affect business outcomes—no bureaucracy or busywork
• Autonomy with support: Freedom to make decisions with backup when you need it
• Challenging problems: Work on performance, scale, and architecture—not just CRUD features
• Competitive compensation: Salary commensurate with experience and capabilities

We operate with high trust and high expectations. We don't micromanage, but we do expect:

• Proactive communication when blocked, behind, or uncertain
• Ownership of outcomes, not just completion of tasks
• Continuous improvement—of your skills, our codebase, and our processes
• Honest assessment of your own work and receptiveness to feedback
