• Uplift standards through coaching and review quality; improve patterns/practices within the team.
• Write clean, maintainable solutions; use standards, reviews, and testing practices to sustain quality.

You’ll participate in an on‑call rotation approximately once every 5–6 weeks.

• Real ownership and visible impact
• Modern tech stack and meaningful scale
• A team that moves fast and supports each other

If you’re passionate about great engineering and want your work to matter every single day... this is your team.
