 * Open-source contributions

## Description

We''re looking for a senior full-stack engineer who lives in TypeScript. You write clean, well-typed, well-tested TypeScript on both sides of the stack - React and Next.js on the front end, Node.js services and APIs on the back end - and you deploy and operate what you build on Google Cloud or AWS.

As a Principal Engineer, you''ll own Hook''s internal applications and platform end to end: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and long-term health. You''re self-directed, comfortable owning complex products from first idea through continued development, and you make confident architectural decisions without needing a roadmap handed to you. When a client project needs a strong technical lead, you step in with that same ownership mindset.

OUR STACK

 * Language: TypeScript, end to end
 * Front end: React, Next.js
 * Back end: Node.js, Express (or similar: Fastify, NestJS, Hono), REST and GraphQL APIs
 * Cloud: Google Cloud Platform and AWS (serverless, containers, managed databases, queues, storage), plus Vercel
 * Data: PostgreSQL / relational databases and document stores (Firestore, MongoDB, or similar)
 * Tooling: Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), modern TypeScript tooling (Vite, Vitest/Jest, ESLint, pnpm/npm workspaces)
 * AI: LLM APIs and AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot)

WHAT YOU''LL DO

 * Architect, build, and ship production full-stack web applications in TypeScript, from React/Next.js front ends to Node.js services and APIs
 * Design and own back-end services, APIs, and integrations with third-party platforms
 * Deploy, operate, and monitor applications on Google Cloud or AWS, including infrastructure, CI/CD, task queues, observability, security, and cost
 * Own product areas end to end: problem discovery, technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement
 * Partner with creative, production, and operations teams to understand their workflows and turn them into reliable, well-designed software
 * Integrate AI capabilities (LLM APIs, agents, automation) into the applications you build
 * Set the technical bar: drive code review, testing standards, documentation, and best practices
 * Serve as technical lead on select client web projects and occasionally direct freelance developers
 * Evaluate and recommend tools, frameworks, and approaches as Hook''s needs evolve
