Who you are

You have 2-4 years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on fullstack development — you've designed and built scalable, modern web applications using technologies like MongoDB, Node.js, TypeScript, and React. Your hands-on experience with unit testing frameworks such as Cypress, Jest, and Playwright demonstrates your commitment to writing clean and maintainable code.

You are familiar with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, and cloud infrastructure, including AWS, GCP, and Azure — your understanding of Kubernetes and Helm showcases your ability to leverage modern infrastructure-as-code tools effectively. You possess a solid understanding of API integrations and service discovery mechanisms, which allows you to build and maintain a robust service catalog.

Your experience working within distributed systems has contributed to your ability to design scalable systems — you demonstrate sound engineering practices like continuous delivery and automated testing. You communicate effectively and can successfully partner with different engineering teams across domains, including product developers, platform engineers, and SREs.

You are comfortable writing and reviewing technical design documents and specifications, ensuring clarity and precision in your work. Your collaborative nature allows you to thrive in team environments, where you can share knowledge and learn from others.

Desirable

Hands-on experience with additional modern frameworks or tools would make you stand out — familiarity with other testing frameworks or cloud services can enhance your contributions to the team.
