• Collaborate with Lead and Senior Engineers through technical discussions, pair programming, code reviews, and problem-solving sessions.

• Investigate production incidents, identify root causes, implement effective fixes, and improve systems to prevent recurring issues.

• Contribute to the evolution of engineering practices by identifying opportunities to improve development processes, architecture, and technical solutions.

• Experiment with AI-powered development tools and agents to support code generation, testing, and review while applying independent technical judgment.

• Work with human and AI-assisted content review systems to support efficient and reliable marketplace operations.

• Participate in technical decision-making, balancing implementation quality, maintainability, performance, and delivery requirements.

• Take initiative, share ideas, and contribute to a collaborative engineering culture focused on continuous learning and improvement.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have solid software engineering experience, strong backend development capabilities, and a genuine interest in technical excellence. You should be comfortable taking ownership of development tasks, collaborating with experienced engineers, and continuously expanding your technical expertise. Key qualifications include:

• A few years of professional software engineering experience, with the ability to independently deliver features and technical projects.

• Strong backend development skills and experience building and maintaining software applications.

• Experience with Ruby on Rails or a comparable backend framework.

• Good understanding of clean code principles, software design practices, testing methodologies, and maintainable architecture.

• Ability to make sensible technical trade-offs and develop reliable solutions that meet business and technical requirements.

• Experience troubleshooting production issues, investigating root causes, and implementing sustainable fixes.

• Familiarity with software testing and quality assurance practices.

• Interest in AI-assisted software development, including the practical use of AI agents for coding, testing, and code reviews.

• Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs and apply sound engineering judgment rather than relying on automated suggestions without validation.

• Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and willingness to learn new technologies and approaches.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively alongside senior engineers and cross-functional colleagues.

• A proactive mindset, strong sense of ownership, and enthusiasm for contributing ideas beyond assigned development tasks.
