• Investigate and resolve significant software defects and production issues.
  

• Mentor and support other engineers, helping to raise the technical capabilities of the wider team.
  

• Explain complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and impacts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably in a product-focused engineering environment.
  

• Strong hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, Python, and PostgreSQL, or closely related technologies.
  

• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of a feature or project through the full development → deployment → launch lifecycle.
  

• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including design patterns, testing, debugging, code quality, and maintainability.
