Software Engineer

Requirements

• We're hiring across the mid to senior range. If you're mid-level, you'll grow quickly with meaningful ownership from day one. If you're senior, you'll set technical direction, raise the bar on quality, and lift the engineers around you
• Strong full-stack experience building and shipping production web applications (roughly 3+ years for mid-level, 6+ for senior)
• Deep fluency in TypeScript across the stack, owning both frontend and backend
• Solid fundamentals in data modeling, API design, and deploying to the cloud
• A bias to ship: you break work into deliverable pieces and move it to done without hand-holding
• Clear communication and genuine care for the people who use what you build
• (Desirable) Experience at an early-stage or fast-scaling startup where you wore several hats
• (Desirable) Exposure to data-intensive products, recommendation/matching systems, or AI/ML-backed features
• (Desirable) Interest in workforce development, economic mobility, or other mission-driven work
• Your alma mater isn't our focus. Your grit, hunger, and drive are. If you learn continuously, tackle challenges head-on, and know your strengths and gaps intimately, you're our person

What the job involves

• You'll build the product that helps people get to better jobs faster and cheaper, with a focus on those facing the biggest barriers to opportunity
• As a full-stack engineer here, you'll own features end to end, from design through to production, and you'll have real influence over how we build, not just what
• We work with high velocity and a high bar, and we trust engineers to make calls and move
• End-to-end delivery: Design, build, test, and ship full-stack features across the frontend and backend, owning your work all the way to production
• Product partnership: Work closely with Product, Design, and Data to turn customer needs into well-built, reliable software
• Code quality: Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code, and help hold the team to a high bar through reviews and shared standards
• Technical judgment: Make sound technical decisions in your work and weigh tradeoffs as you build. At the senior end, this scales up to system design for larger initiatives, architectural calls, and mentoring other engineers
• This role is hands-on and high-impact from week one. You won't sit on the sidelines learning for a quarter. You'll be shipping early and owning more as you go. Here's roughly what that looks like:
• By 30 days: Get oriented and ship
• Get your environment set up and ship your first change to production in the first week: a real fix or small improvement, not a throwaway task
• Build relationships across Engineering, Product, Design, and Data, and learn how work moves from idea to production here
• Get to know the codebase and our stack (React/TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL/MongoDB, AWS), and where the rough edges are
• Understand who our users are, the barriers they face, and the problems we're solving for them
• By 60 days: Own your work end to end
• Take a feature from design through to production on your own, owning quality the whole way
• Become a dependable code reviewer and start holding the team to a high bar through shared standards
• Develop real judgment about our patterns and tradeoffs, and bring that into planning and technical discussions
• Partner closely with Product and Design to turn customer needs into reliable, well-built software
• By 90 days: Drive impact
• Deliver a meaningful piece of product that customers actually feel
• Spot something that slows us down, like tooling, testing, observability, or process, and improve it without being asked
• Have a clear point of view on where we can move faster or raise the bar on quality
• (At the senior end) take on system design for a larger initiative, make sound architectural calls, and lift the engineers around you
• Our Tech Stack for Engineering
• Frontend: React, TypeScript
• Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
• Data storage: PostgreSQL, MongoDB
• Infrastructure: AWS ecosystem
• Collaboration: Slack, Jira, Figma
