  • Proficiency in full-stack development with a strong understanding of web frameworks, backend systems, and cloud infrastructure
  • You know when to cut corners and when the details matter

Nice to have

  • Experience with AI/ML frameworks, prompt engineering, or AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) is a strong plus
  • Experience with our stack (Vue/Nuxt, Go, AWS, PostgreSQL) is a plus but not required

Skills

  • Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS on the frontend.
