- Review code and engage peers to focus on technical quality and pragmatic decision-making
- Participate in the full development lifecycle — from ideation to post-launch support
- Help shape our engineering culture and technical direction
Requirements

- Solid understanding of functional programming principles and their practical application in production systems
- Experience using the Typelevel stack: Scala 2.13+/ Scala 3, along with cats/cats-effect/zio, and related libraries
- Experience with our infrastructure stack: AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL

- Fluency in English, both written and spoken, for effective communication in a distributed team
- Comfortable working in small, fast-paced, product-focused teams with shifting priorities
