Write high-quality, maintainable code while balancing speed and correctness
Debug and resolve issues related to onboarding flows, matching outcomes, and system reliability
Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving engineering standards and best practices
Grow toward increased technical ownership by learning from senior engineers on the team
Desired Capabilities
2+ years of professional software engineering experience
Experience building full-stack applications, with comfort working across frontend and backend
Strong proficiency in TypeScript
Experience with modern web stacks (Next.js, tRPC, GraphQL, PostgreSQL)

Product-oriented mindset with a focus on user experience and business outcomes
Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating cross-functionally
Growth mindset and eagerness to take on increasing responsibility
