Full stack Engineer

Location: Manila, Ho Chi Minh, Lisbon, Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires, Jakarta, Cape town, Lagos Lagoon, Singapore, Dubai, Cairo, Taipei, Mexico, Budapest

Department: Engineering

Location Type: REMOTE

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

What you'll do:

• Own customer and business problems from discovery and technical design through implementation, deployment, measurement, and iteration.
• Build products and systems across the stack, choosing the right layer and tools for each problem rather than staying inside a narrow specialty.
• Work closely with product, design, support, and engineering teammates to identify high-leverage opportunities and turn them into shipped outcomes.
• Use AI coding agents and modern development tools to plan, build, review, test, document, and improve software at high velocity.
• Run multiple streams of work effectively, unblock yourself, and make progress visible even when a project is uncertain or blocked.
• Make thoughtful tradeoffs among speed, quality, complexity, scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Review code with strong judgment, give candid and useful feedback, and help the team move decisions and pull requests forward quickly.
• Turn lessons from incidents, reviews, and customer feedback into better tests, documentation, tooling, and reusable engineering context.
• Measure the impact of what you ship and keep iterating until it produces a meaningful result for customers or the business.
• Contribute ideas beyond the initial brief. We value engineers who spot opportunities, challenge assumptions, and build the first version rather than waiting for perfect instructions.

What we're looking for:

• At least 3 years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful experience building across both backend and frontend systems.
• A record of owning and shipping production software end to end, not only completing isolated tickets or implementing detailed specifications.
• Strong product judgment and a customer-focused approach to technical decisions.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development. You have a real workflow for using coding agents to increase speed and quality, and you understand that the human engineer remains accountable for the result.
• Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain complex ideas clearly, share progress without being chased, ask for feedback early, and work effectively in a remote, async team.
• Sound engineering judgment across architecture, APIs, data modeling, reliability, performance, testing, observability, and security.
• Experience making systems scale, with concrete examples of bottlenecks, tradeoffs, and lessons from operating production software.
• High initiative, urgency, and curiosity. You learn unfamiliar systems quickly, propose ideas, and find a path forward when the answer is not obvious.
• Attention to detail and pride in craft. You care whether the experience works well for users, not merely whether the code compiles.
• Comfort giving and receiving candid feedback, reviewing teammates' work, and improving shared standards.

What stands out:

• You have built or operated systems at meaningful scale and can explain what broke, what you changed, and how you measured the result.
• You have created products, tools, open-source projects, or substantial side projects that show initiative and technical taste.
• You have improved a product or process without waiting for someone to assign the work.
• You use multiple AI agents or parallel development workflows effectively, while maintaining a high bar for correctness and security.
• You can point to work where you combined engineering, product thinking, and customer insight to create measurable impact.
• You have worked successfully in a fast-moving startup or another environment with broad ownership and limited bureaucracy.

How we work:

• We move in fast, incremental engineering cycles and prefer learning from shipped work over debating hypothetical perfection.
• We overcommunicate progress, decisions, risks, and blockers because our team works across countries and time zones.
• We use data and customer feedback to decide what matters and to measure whether our work succeeded.
• We automate repetitive work and continuously improve the context, tools, and standards that help both people and agents perform better.
• We expect engineers to take accountability and initiative. Freedom here comes with ownership of the outcome.
• We value candid feedback, low ego, strong opinions held with curiosity, and teammates who make the people around them better.
• We aim to get meaningfully better every week.

Perks and benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Work remotely from anywhere
• Opportunities to move laterally and grow rapidly
• Paid time off and a flexible leave policy
• A no-boss culture that empowers you to take ownership
• Flexible working hours
• LGBTQ+ friendly workplace
• International offsites to connect and recharge
• Technology reimbursements to support your work
