• Providing mentorship through code reviews, pair programming, and technical discussions
• Proactively identifying risks, blockers, and scope changes before escalation is required
• Maintaining focus and productivity in ambiguous or evolving problem spaces
• Supporting a collaborative, inclusive, and mission-aligned engineering culture

Candidate profile:

• 3–5+ years of professional experience delivering software projects in team environments
• Strong hands-on experience with Ruby on Rails, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL
• Proven ability to deliver complex projects with limited guidance
• Experience leading engineers on smaller initiatives
• Strong understanding of scalability, security, and reliability best practices
• Ability to translate stakeholder needs into technical solutions
• High attention to detail, especially when accuracy and compliance are critical
• Comfortable working with distributed, remote-first teams across time zones

• Experience creating internal tools or administrative interfaces
• Prior collaboration with non-technical stakeholders on operational workflows
