The Role

This is a fullstack software engineering role designed for recent graduates and early-career engineers looking to accelerate their growth by building production systems. You’ll contribute to — and grow into owning — core internal platform capabilities and product features end-to-end.

You’ll work across internal tools, services, workflows, and AI-powered products that support our engineering, operations, and recruiting platforms. As you grow, you’ll take increasing ownership of critical systems while collaborating closely with experienced engineers.

What You’ll Own

• Contribute to the design and development of end-to-end fullstack systems powering critical internal workflows and platform capabilities.
• Build clean, maintainable backend services and APIs while learning scalable engineering best practices.
• Develop high-quality frontend interfaces used by internal teams and end users.
• Participate in data modeling and database optimization efforts, including schema design and query performance.
• Collaborate with product, operations, and design teams to translate ideas into reliable, production-ready features.
• Improve engineering quality through code reviews, testing, documentation, and continuous improvement.
• Help troubleshoot production issues while learning how to build resilient, observable systems.
• Develop sound engineering judgment by making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, scalability, and maintainability.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field (recent graduate or graduating soon).
• Internship, co-op, research, or meaningful personal/project experience building software applications.
• Strong fundamentals in JavaScript and/or TypeScript.
• Familiarity with frontend development using React or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with backend development using Node.js (NestJS is a plus).
• Understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL and core data modeling principles.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs and how distributed applications communicate.
• Exposure to Git and modern software development workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, attention to detail, and a growth mindset.
• Excited to learn quickly and contribute in a fast-moving engineering environment.

Preferred

• Internship or professional software engineering experience.
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, deployment pipelines, or DevOps fundamentals.
• Exposure to modern architectures such as microservices, serverless, or event-driven systems.
• Interest in AI-powered products, workflow automation, or data-intensive applications.
• Experience contributing to team projects, hackathons, open-source software, or startup environments.
