Position Sn

apshot:
We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who wants more than a backlog of tickets. You'll build end-to-end features using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Prisma, and MongoDB, while helping define our architecture, engineering practices, and technical direction.You'll also play a key role in raising the technical maturity of the engineering team through thoughtful code reviews, systems thinking, collaborative problem solving, and engineering mentorship. Working alongside a small team of seven engineers, you'll have direct access to product, design, and leadership, giving you the opportunity to influence decisions from concept to production. This is a hands-on engineering role, with most of your time spent building software (60%) while also mentoring teammates (40%) through code reviews, contributing to architecture discussions, and helping shape engineering st

andards.
This is a high-impact, low-bureaucracy environment where your ideas matter. We value engineers who communicate openly, mentor others, challenge technical decisions thoughtfully, and build software that's designed

to last.

The Id

eal CandidateYou are the engineer others come to when they're stuck. You instinctively ask questions before making assumptions, enjoy helping others work through complex problems, and naturally look beyond your own area of ownership. You care as much about how your team engineers software as what gets shipped. You don't just write code; you improve systems, elevate teammates, and help teams make better technical decisions. You've likely spent years reviewing code, mentoring developers, navigating architectural trade-offs, and balancing speed with maintainability. You're comfortable speaking up when something doesn't feel right, and you're equally comfortable changing your mind when presented with a better solution. You care deeply about code quality, but you also understand pragmatism and busine

ss realities.
