This is a player/coach role: you'll actively contribute code while also supporting the growth of three engineers (including yourself), conducting light one-on-ones, and providing feedback into our review process. This position does not include formal personnel management or salary decisions.

• Cultivate a collaborative environment across engineering teams through sharing best practices, improving systems, and leveling up the team.
• Explore and leverage AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code as part of our evolving workflow.

Skills You Should Have

• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript for backend and full-stack development.
• Hands-on experience with modern front-end frameworks, especially React (Next.js experience is a plus).
• Solid understanding of relational databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL.
• Prior experience mentoring engineers, shaping architecture, or providing technical leadership.
• Experience using a headless CMS and contributing to customizable content.

What Will Put You Over the Top
