We’re a dynamic, privately held company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Seattle, WA.Role: Senior Full Stack Engineer (Remote)

We’re looking for a seasoned, self-driven engineer who treats high-level product goals as a map, not a grid of step-by-step instructions. You’ll partner with program management, the product team, and sometimes key customers to turn broad requirements into production-ready features. Your questions and insights will help refine scope and elevate our entire engineering process. The ability to contribute to a collaborative process is key. Daily standup is 8:00am Pacific Time.

• Collaborate & Refine: Work directly with program management and cross-functional teams to clarify requirements, suggest improvements, and devise elegant and efficient solutions.

• Architect & Build: Contribute to the overall design process by assisting in paring down business requirements relative to cost, and influencing UI/UX department decisions for optimized MVPs. Then, execute on architecture and build the final product to meet those requirements, or provide the clarity and guidance for a junior developer to execute upon.

• Front-End Excellence: Translate high-fidelity Figma flow charts and designs into responsive UI components using Laravel Livewire and modern HTML/CSS.

• API & Data Design: Implement robust RESTful services in PHP/Laravel with Eloquent ORM, and design efficient MySQL schemas and queries.

• Performance & Automation: Monitor and tune application performance, ensure efficient database queries, write thorough unit tests, and maintain clear code documentation with doc blocks.

Ownership & Mentorship: Own full lifecycle delivery of features from GitHub ticket to production. Participate in peer code reviews and coach junior engineers on best practices.
