Full-Stack Java Engineer

0-7 years of software engineering experience with full-stack range - both backend and frontend

Backend experience (Python, Go, or infrastructure such as AWS) and frontend experience (TypeScript/JavaScript/React or a modern equivalent)

At least one of: 1.5+ years at a Tier-1 engineering team (FAANG, YC company, scale-up); an ex-founder background; a CS degree from an elite school (Ivies, Waterloo, well-respected state schools); or other strong evidence of excellence (side projects, open source, etc.)

Willing to relocate to San Francisco and work Monday-Friday in-office, with frequent weekend pushes or visa holder - sponsorship for sub-$100K H-1B roles is not available
