• Work closely with the founders to translate the company's vision into a robust, user-friendly product.
• Set the technical direction of the product, choosing the right technologies, tools, and frameworks to ensure long-term scalability and maintainability.
• Build and maintain a secure, scalable, and high-performance architecture, with a focus on reliability and user experience.
• Take full ownership of the software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to deployment and ongoing maintenance.
• Lead code reviews, establish coding standards, and ensure best practices in software design and architecture.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize software to improve performance, scalability, and usability.
• Mentor junior engineers as the team grows and foster a collaborative, innovative culture.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated success in building full-stack applications.
• Strong proficiency in one or more backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java) and experience with frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js).
• Experience in building and deploying applications in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Solid understanding of database design and management (SQL/NoSQL) and the ability to make decisions on architecture.
• Experience with microservices, APIs, and scalable system design.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a startup environment and to deliver high-quality code in a fast-paced setting.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with a hands-on approach to solving technical challenges.

Nice to Have:

• Previous startup experience, ideally in an early-stage company where you played a key role in building the product from the ground up.
• Knowledge of the home services industry or marketplace platforms.
• Experience with mobile development (iOS/Android).
• Interest in or experience with UX/UI design and the ability to collaborate with design teams.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and early-stage equity in the company.
• The opportunity to shape and influence the future of the company and product.
• Flexible working hours and remote work options.
• A dynamic, fast-paced environment where you'll work directly with the founders and be part of key decision-making.
• Professional growth and leadership opportunities as the team scales.
