- Contribute to a culture of learning, excellence, and experimentation—helping establish our Dallas team’s engineering identity from the ground up.

- 4-6 years of professional experience in software engineering.
- Proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React, or similar modern frameworks.

- Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you’re empowered to make decisions and deliver impact quickly.
- Excited by the challenge of building a new engineering culture and office presence from the ground up.
- Experience in fintech, proptech, or other regulated data environments.
