Kindred - Full-Stack Engineer
Responsibilities
• Build features that feel effortless to users and are easy for other engineers to extend • Balance business priorities, user experience, and a durable technical foundation when the three pull in different directions • Track down production issues wherever they live, from the UI to the backend • Keep raising the bar on quality and speed as our web and mobile surfaces grow • You may be a right fit for this role if you: • Have 3+ years building consumer-facing applications, with real depth in React and React Native and enough backend experience to build a feature all the way down • Are fluent in TypeScript across the stack — we build on Next.js, React Native/Expo, and Node + GraphQL over Postgres, and value people who pick up new tools quickly over people who've used exactly ours • Have a sharp eye for UI detail and a deep understanding of consumer UX across web and mobile, with a track record of building interfaces that stay fast and reusable at scale • Have the product and design judgment to work from a rough direction — you make the dozens of small calls a spec never covers, and know which few are worth escalating • Have strong ownership instincts — you see the thing through to shipped and working, and pick up the unglamorous parts nobody assigned • Communicate and listen well, and work easily cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment • Are motivated by consumer products that shape how people behave
