Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer (D3), youll work independently on complete features while developing your expertise and leadership within the team. Youre moving beyond just coding to becoming a technical contributor others rely on.

Core D3 Responsibilities:

• Design and implement medium-complexity features from conception to deployment

• Lead code reviews for your team and catch issues others might miss

• Optimize existing code for performance and maintainability

• Contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions

• Mentor D1/D2 engineers actively run "office hours" and provide guidance

• Own specific modules or services become the go-to expert for your domain

Day-to-day Impact:

• Build features that rarely need rework after initial delivery

• Balance development speed with code quality and best practices

• Write technical documentation and share learnings with the team

• Collaborate across functions while maintaining technical excellence

• Help establish coding standards and development practices

• Frontend: Next.js (TypeScript, React)

• Backend: NestJS (TypeScript)

• Database: Modern database design and optimization

• Infrastructure: Cloud-native deployment and CI/CD

• Development: Modern testing frameworks, code review processes

D3 Technical Requirements:

• Strong proficiency across our full TypeScript stack (Next.js, NestJS)

• Database design and optimization skills you can design efficient schemas and queries

• Understanding of system design principles for medium-complexity features

• 3+ years building production software with increasing responsibility

• Code review expertise you can spot issues and provide constructive feedback

Growing Technical Skills:

• Architecture and scalability patterns learning to design systems that grow

• Performance optimization techniques making applications faster and more efficient

• Cross-functional collaboration working effectively with product, design, and other teams

Leadership & Mentoring:

• Mentoring experience or strong interest in helping junior engineers grow

• Technical communication can explain complex concepts clearly

• Independent work style can take ownership of features without constant oversight

• Quality mindset you balance speed with maintainable, robust code

After 1 Month:

• Fully onboarded to our systems, codebase, and development workflows

• Understanding of our product architecture and technical decisions

• Begin taking ownership of your first medium-complexity feature

After 2 Months:

• Leading code reviews and providing valuable feedback to the team

• Mentoring junior engineers helping D1/D2 developers with technical challenges

• Contributing to design discussions for new features and improvements

After 3-5 Months:

• Recognized as go-to expert for specific modules or system areas

• Delivering features that consistently meet quality standards without rework

• Driving technical improvements optimizing performance and code quality

• Leading technical discussions and sharing knowledge with the broader team

D4 Growth Path:

• Lead complex, multi-sprint projects spanning multiple areas

• Make architectural decisions that influence team direction

• Show consistent technical judgment across diverse challenges

• Mentor and influence engineers beyond your immediate team
