Responsibilities
- Design and evolve GraphQL schemas in a federated graph, including the server-driven UI contracts our mobile and web clients render

- Build front-end applications and shared libraries with React and TypeScript
- Build web applications that are fast and accessible to everyone
- Partner with product and design to architect and ship customer-facing features
- Use observability tooling to diagnose issues and improve the experience for guests
- Set up and refine monitoring and alerting in DataDog for the systems you own
- Improve code quality by finding technical debt, proposing fixes, and holding the standard for the whole team
- Find bottlenecks and areas of risk in production, and drive the changes that make the platform scale
- Learn from and mentor teammates through code review, pairing, and writing things down
- Take part in the design, architecture, and delivery of new features in a collaborative agile team
- Write thorough tests for every feature and bug fix. Testing is a first-class discipline on this team
- Work with QA to strengthen automated testing pipelines and CI/CD workflows
- Use Claude Code in daily development to move faster without lowering the bar
- Other duties as required

- Experience investigating and fixing production performance regressions, including CPU hotspots and latency in high-throughput services
- Experience on an on-call rotation for a production service, and owning release cycles end to end
- You care about clean architecture and about code you will not mind reading a year from now
- Clear writing. You have authored tech specs, runbooks, and cross-team design docs that stood up to scrutiny
- Experience with API development in Node or Bun, or in another server framework (Phoenix, Ruby on Rails, FastAPI, Laravel)
