👀 Who we’re looking for

You’re not here to just ship tickets, you’re here to own, build, and elevate.

✅ You’re a seasoned fullstack or backend developer (3–4+ years)
You write code that scales, you debug like a sniper, and you’ve seen enough to know what works and what’s fluff.

✅ You’ve already led a team or a project
Whether formally or informally, you’ve driven real delivery. You know how to guide, challenge, and collaborate.

✅ You’re product-minded to the core
You don’t just ask “how,” you ask “why.” You want to build features that solve real problems not just add buttons.

✅ You’re hungry for ownership and growth
You want to be in the room where decisions are made. You see this as a step toward technical leadership, not just execution.

✅ You live and breathe dev best practices
Tests, clean architecture, CI/CD they’re not buzzwords for you. They’re part of your daily mindset.

✅ You care about business impact
You want to know if what you built actually moved the needle. You’re driven by value, not just velocity.
