  • Implement systems and infrastructure from Staff Developer POCs in line with the team’s vision and security-first mindset.
  • Perform code reviews, ensure pull requests meet acceptance criteria, and use quality metrics to identify testing gaps.
  • Define and prioritize technical debt and bugs, incorporating incident management outcomes into remediation plans.
  • Manage and optimize integration of third-party systems to ensure reliability, performance, and security.
  • Coach and mentor engineers to expand technical skills, foster iterative deployability, and improve team delivery metrics.
  • Write unit and higher-level tests, apply systematic debugging techniques, and consistently produce production-ready, well-documented code.
  • Ensure modules meet technical standards for accessibility, performance, security, maintainability, operability, and observability while following Agile practices and contributing to continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience with Scrum and Agile methodologies and familiarity with DORA metrics for DevOps performance.
  • Experience architecting and augmenting large software systems and working with microservices and micro front-ends.
  • Experience with JavaScript tooling such as Webpack, Babel, and Storybook, and unit testing frameworks like Jest or Mocha.
  • Nice to have: experience with test automation (Cypress, Nightwatch, Selenium, BrowserStack), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, AWS), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

Benefits

  • Salary range $150,000–$170,000/year plus annual discretionary bonus and potential performance-based incentives.
  • Remote-first work environment with home office allowance and company-provided tech ("office in a box").
