About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a strong frontend core — someone who thinks in React/Next.js first, but is fully capable of contributing at the backend layer using Golang when needed.

Responsibilities

• Lead frontend architecture and experience design — owning React/Next.js interfaces end-to-end, with a focus on performance, UX, and scalability.
• Integrate cleanly with backend services and contribute to Golang APIs when needed — not just consume them.
• Collaborate tightly with product and design on experience decisions — not just implementation.
• Influence architecture, reliability, performance strategy, and engineering standards.
• Write high-quality, clean, well-structured code — and enforce that quality in reviews.
• Act as a technical force multiplier — mentoring, unblocking, and setting the technical bar.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of engineering experience building production web applications.
• Expert-level frontend depth — React + Next.js mastery (streaming, modern rendering patterns, state strategy).
• Proven ability to design high-performance, scalable, modern frontend systems with clarity and intentionality.
• Solid backend competency — ideally Golang, but strong API design fluency is required.
• Deep understanding of performance, caching, hydration, code splitting, bundling, deploy strategy, DX/UX tradeoffs.
• Product and architecture instincts — you care about what should be built, not just how.

Preferred Qualifications

• AI, fintech, or data-intensive product experience.
• Experience shaping design systems, frontend platforms, or reusable architecture patterns.
• Edge rendering, observability tooling, or event-driven architecture familiarity.
• Experience with relational databases (Postgres)

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation + meaningful equity.
• Opportunity to define the technical foundation of a greenfield AI platform.
• A culture optimized for engineering excellence, focus, deep work, and ownership — not ticket factories.
