Requirements
• 🧠 Systems thinking mindset: You think about correctness, trade-offs, and reliability — and enjoy working on foundational platform problems. • 🏗️ System design experience: You’ve contributed to system design decisions or worked on significant components, and can explain your technical choices clearly. • 🛠️ TypeScript depth: You have strong TypeScript experience and you’re comfortable working in a large, evolving codebase. • 🤝 Collaboration: You communicate well, work cross-functionally, and collaborate effectively with other engineers. • 🧹 Pragmatic engineering: You’re comfortable improving and refactoring existing systems to make them more scalable and maintainable. • FOR BACKEND-FOCUSED CANDIDATES: • 🧩 Node.js backend systems: You’ve built backend systems in TypeScript/Node.js beyond CRUD. • 🌐 Distributed systems: You understand event-driven patterns, idempotency, and reliability in distributed environments. • 🗄️ Data architecture: You’ve worked on data-intensive services, including performance and operational considerations. • FOR FRONTEND-FOCUSED CANDIDATES: • 🧱 Complex frontend systems: You’ve built architecture-heavy frontend products (e.g., canvas, real-time, collaborative, or similarly complex apps). • ⚡ Performance expertise: You have experience with rendering performance optimization and can measure and improve runtime behavior. • 🖥️ Modern frontend TypeScript: You’re strong in TypeScript frontend development; Vue experience is preferred but not required. • 🧰 Workflow/orchestration or devtools experience: You’ve worked on workflow engines, orchestration platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure-adjacent SaaS. • 🌍 Open-source experience: You’ve contributed to or maintained OSS, and understand public API contracts and backward compatibility. • 📈 Large-scale SaaS exposure: You’ve worked on systems with meaningful scale or complexity. • 🧩 Monolith → modular migrations: You’ve contributed to decomposing monoliths or evolving systems toward modular architectures. • 🧾 Durable execution patterns: Familiarity with event-driven or workflow execution patterns (e.g., queues, retries, sagas). • 🧑🤝🧑 Collaboration tech (FE): Experience with collaborative or real-time applications. • 🧵 Frontend platform patterns (FE): Experience with plugin systems, micro-frontends, or web workers. • ☁️ Multi-deployment awareness: Exposure to both cloud and self-hosted environments. • 🔭 Observability mindset: You care about operability (instrumentation, debugging, rollout safety).
