If you prefer designing systems properly and then building them yourself, this will make sense.
This is a scaling product used in production every day. PCI-compliant. Running on AWS. No outages in years. That's deliberate engineering.
The Work
70% backend - Golang
30% frontend - TypeScript
Design and build new functionality
Maintain and refine existing systems
Think end-to-end before you change anything
Security and availability are core constraints, not afterthoughts.
How the Team Operates
Small group of strong engineers
Low hierarchy
Propose solutions, pressure-test with peers, then ship
Autonomy assumed
No ticket treadmill
What Matters
Product experience, ideally in smaller teams
Systems thinking
Attention to detail
Clear, direct communication
Seeing work through from design to production
Stack
Golang
TypeScript
Python
AWS Services
Nice to have - PCI DSS or payments exposure.
