About the role

  • Much of fool.com is server side rendered.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain server-side features in our Next.js App Router codebase using TypeScript - route handlers, server components, server actions, streaming, ISR, and revalidation strategy.
  • Design and harden integrations with the third-party APIs that power our content, market data, and subscription experiences.
  • Own caching strategy across Redis and Cloudflare, balancing freshness against performance, cost, and crawler behavior.
  • Optimize the site for the way it's actually consumed by SEO crawlers: rendering strategy, structured data, sitemap generation, canonicalization, hreflang, robots directives, performance budgets, and crawl budget management.
  • Partner with our front-end engineers on the seam between server and client, and collaborate with content, marketing, SEO, and platform teams across the company.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent on the server side of a production web application.
  • Demonstrated track record integrating third-party APIs in production, with clear opinions about how to do it safely.
  • You've debugged a flaky upstream at 11pm and you have views about it.
  • Comfort with AWS, Docker, and modern CI/CD workflows.
  • Experience writing maintainable end-to-end tests with Playwright, Cypress, or similar.
  • Familiarity with analytics and event pipelines (Segment, PostHog, GTM, or similar).

Skills

  • Integrate with our CMS for content management

Compensation

  • $1,000 annually to invest in stocks of your choice

Benefits

  • No "vacation policy" (not to be confused with a "No vacation" policy)
  • Generous fully-paid parental leave
  • Super low premiums for medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Comprehensive compensation package, including company equity
  • Write meaningful end-to-end coverage with Microsoft Playwright for the flows that matter most.
  • Flexible, remote work environment (*see our open states above)
