About the Role

We’re looking for a full-stack software engineer who cares as much about impact as they do about what they build.

You’ll be joining a brand-new software venture backed by an established, successful company with deep industry experience and a clear mission. We’re building something from the ground up, and we want someone who’s excited by the opportunity to shape both the product and the process from day one.

You will work across the full technology stack—from Java backend services to React-based web interfaces and React Native mobile applications—helping to transform user needs into scalable, reliable software solutions.

If you’re motivated by meaningful work, enjoy taking ownership, and want to be part of a small, focused team where your ideas influence what gets built, we’d love to talk.

• Implement new product features from concept through deployment.
• Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code following engineering best practices.
• Participate in architecture discussions to improve scalability and reliability.
• Deploy and operate applications within AWS infrastructure.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, design, and operations.
