- **Data Modeling**: Work with our **ArangoDB** graph database, optimizing queries and modeling complex social data.
- **Full Stack Execution**: Implement robust **REST APIs** and handle high-throughput real-time interactions.
- **Quality Code**: Write clean, modular, and secure **TypeScript**.
- **AI-Augmented Development**: Actively use AI assistants (**Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot**) to accelerate development, refactoring, and debugging.
- **Teamwork**: Participate in code reviews, architectural planning, and debugging across our Dockerized services.

**The Stack You'll Work With**
- ** Frontend**: Vite, **React 19**, **TypeScript**, TanStack Router & Query, Tailwind, Radix UI
- **Backend**:Node.js**, **Firebase** (Auth, Functions, Firestore, Storage)
- **Database**:ArangoDB** (Graph-first modeling)
- **Web3**: Hardhat, Anchor, **Solidity**, viem
- **Infrastructure/Tools**:Docker**, GCP, pnpm + bun, Git
- **AI Workflow**:Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot** (We have an AI-first development culture)

**Must-Have Experience**

We're looking for an experienced developer who can hit the ground running:

- ** 3+ years** of full stack development, primarily with **React + TypeScript**.
- Strong backend expertise with **Node.js** and API development.
- Familiarity with **Vite** or other modern frontend build tooling.
- Experience building and scaling **real-time systems**.
- Comfortable using **Docker** for local development environments.
- **Proven, active use of AI coding assistants** in real-world projects.

**Great-to-Haves (Bonus Skills)**

- Experience with **ArangoDB** or other graph/NoSQL models.
- Deep expertise within the **Firebase** ecosystem.
- Background building **social, content, or monetization platforms**.
- Demonstrable productivity gains using AI tools (show us the data).

**Our Engineering Philosophy**

We seek teammates with an **AI-augmented development mentality**.
- ** Clarity Over Verbosity**: We value _Code over documentation_—clarity comes through elegant, well-implemented patterns.
- **Pragmatism & Security**: We prioritize maintainable structure, pragmatic architecture, and a security-first mindset.
- **Consistency**: We strive for consistent, clean patterns across the codebase.

**Growth Trajectory**

This is an opportunity to be an early, foundational engineer where you can:

- Become an expert in **Web3** and cutting-edge **graph database** technologies.
- Elevate your skills in **AI-driven engineering workflows**.
- Have a direct impact on shaping our platform’s **architecture and tooling**.
- Mentor others on best practices for **AI-augmented development**.
