- Help developers debug complex issues and understand root causes rather than just fixes.

- Solid working knowledge of Node.js and backend concepts.
- Solid experience designing and integrating REST APIs and third-party services.

What We're Looking For:

- - Enthusiastic and proactive about learning, managing a team of developers and solving problems.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
- Someone who balances ideal solutions with client timelines and budgets.
- Someone who demonstrates leadership qualities and takes responsibility for outcomes, not just assigned tasks.
- Someone who can explain technical decisions clearly to developers, designers, product owners, and operations.
- Someone who stays calm under pressure and approaches issues with structure and curiosity.
- Someone who cares about clean code, maintainability, and a polished final product.
- Someone who works well across design, product owners, project management, and delivery teams.
- Someone who keeps up with the web ecosystem and brings in ideas that improve how we work.

Ideal Candidate:

- The ideal candidate is a senior web developer who wants to grow into a leadership role and is excited to shape a team's technical culture. Should have led multiple client projects end-to-end using React.js and Next.js, and be comfortable making architectural decisions, reviewing code, and unblocking teammates. They bring experience with CMS integrations, API integrations, and Vercel-based deployments, and ideally have Shopify exposure.
- They are equally comfortable writing code and guiding others to write better code. They communicate clearly with stakeholders, bring structure to project delivery, and take pride in mentoring developers and managing projects.
