## About the Role

Quality and craft Write, maintain, standardize, and enforce code quality through testing (including test-driven development where it fits), code review, observability, and accessible, resilient UI. See work through from specification to production and ongoing operation. **Influence and mentorship** Mentor engineers at all levels, including senior engineers, through code review, pairing, and knowledge sharing; build trust, set goals, and give constructive feedback.
Drive the evolution of the team's practices and standards, including agentic engineering workflows that raise how fast and how well the team ships, and build cross-team consensus for technical direction. **Basic Qualifications** * 7+ years building highly scalable, performant full-stack web applications serving millions of users and requests. * A regular practitioner of agentic software development: AI coding agents and agent-driven workflows are a core part of how you build, and you can raise a team's effectiveness with them. * A track record of delivering agentic analytics solutions in production: analytics or data products built on LLMs or agents (for example, natural-language querying, agent-driven insight generation, or prompt-to-dashboard). * Expert-level command of React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, with strong Node.js; comfortable working across the full stack, from UI through back-end services and APIs. * Proven track record architecting
sophisticated technical changes and driving cross-team consensus on the approach. * Experience defining and implementing API specifications in collaboration with service and back-end teams. * Strong performance-engineering fundamentals (rendering, data fetching, caching) for data-heavy or high-traffic systems. * Track record of owning projects beginning to end and driving complex problems to root cause and resolution. * Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow engineers, including senior engineers, by building trust and giving clear feedback. * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software or Electrical Engineering, a comparable field, and/or equivalent work experience. **Preferred Qualifications** * Working proficiency in Python and/or Java for back-end services, data tooling, or integrations. * Shipped production React/Node.js applications with high availability and throughput on a cloud platform (e.g., AWS). * Experience with data
visualization at scale: charting, large and high-cardinality datasets, interactive and filterable dashboards. * Familiarity with BI and data-warehouse stacks (e.g., Looker/LookML, Snowflake, Databricks) and partnering with data and analytics teams. * Experience with configuration-driven or schema-driven UI systems (product defined as data or "as code"). * Expert understanding of web accessibility (WCAG) fundamentals. * Broad knowledge of web standards and emerging technologies The hiring range for this position in NYC is $163,100 - $218,700 per year and in San Francisco, CA is $170,500.00-$228,600.00 per year.
