• Build and maintain backend services in NodeJS/TypeScript, integrating with our data pipelines and chef tools.
• Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers to create intuitive and efficient user interfaces.
• Advocate for frontend best practices, including code quality, testing, and performance optimization.
• Contribute to the Ops Engineering R&D squad, experimenting with new technologies and building POCs to improve operational efficiency.
• Ensure our chef products are highly available, reliable, and scalable, supporting a growing community of chefs on our platform.
• Write clean, well-documented, and testable code, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.

Minimum Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in frontend development using ReactJS and React Native.
• Proficiency in TypeScript and NodeJS, with experience building backend services.
• Strong knowledge of frontend performance optimization, component design, and state management.
• Experience working with RESTful APIs and GraphQL.
• Familiarity with frontend testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.).
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a passion for user experience and frontend craftsmanship.
• Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced startup environment and take ownership of features end-to-end.
• This is a hybrid position, requiring on-site presence at the Brooklyn office 2-3 days per week (Tuesday-Thursday).

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with mobile development using React Native.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and frontend build systems.
