About the role :

We’re looking for an exceptional Senior Software Engineer to join our Growth & Activation team. In this role, you’ll be a key contributor in designing and building both our member-facing products and internal systems. Your work will span critical areas such as the growth funnel, couponing, sales and marketing enablement tools, and member activation flows.

Our team is small and moves quickly. We operate with a high degree of autonomy and expect strong ownership from every engineer. This is a unique opportunity to work on impactful projects that directly shape our growth funnel and member onboarding experience. You’ll help design and build systems that accelerate member activation, improve conversion, and ensure a seamless journey from first touch to long-term engagement. Our tech stack is primarily Python / Django on the backend and React on the frontend.

What you'll do :

• Build end-to-end product features in close partnership with product and design teams.
• Write high-quality, reliable code that’s easy to maintain and scale.
• Collaborate with the team to make key architectural decisions that drive scalability.
• Lead by example, foster a culture of egoless learning, and mentor other engineers.
• Approach problems with a strong product mindset—balancing technical decisions with member impact.
• Take extreme ownership across the full lifecycle : design, execution, launch, and post-production support.
• Drive initiatives that grow our member base to the next level of scale.
• Enhance customer activation flows to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.
• Help members reach their “aha” moment faster through seamless, thoughtful product experiences.
• Work across different parts of the system to create coherent, end-to-end user experiences.
