The role

The Mobbin platform serves a million inspiration-seekers across the world and handles 10 million API requests weekly daily.

We are hiring a software engineer to join our Product Team. The Product Team is responsible for deepening the value of our platform and bringing delight to our customers.

As a software engineer in the Product Team at Mobbin, you will be building high-impact product features across the stack whilst owning multiple systems. Whilst bulk of the work is front-end heavy, you’ll also need to write maintainable backend logic that scales to the millions.

Our Engineering Department, whilst small, provides the technological capability that turn our ideas into software that drives global impact at scale. We take great care to balance the need for stable technologies yet exercise tact in choosing cutting edge technologies that pays forward to our long term goals.

What you'll do...

• Plan and implement high-quality and provably reliable software that scales, including writing tests and documentation with close to no supervision.
• Work closely with team members of other domains (for example: product designers) to drive product decision whilst balancing engineering and business needs. For example, collaborating extensively with designers to refine and polish a feature iteratively.
• Leave our codebase and infrastructure better than you found it. For example, by identifying areas of codebase that can use improvements and executing on suggestions for better developer experience, performance, or otherwise.
• Clearly propose and articulate your technical decisions and the trade-offs incurred. You will need to get the buy-in from fellow engineers and build rapport with them.
• Mentor and guide team members in best practices and technical skills. Perpetuate a healthy software engineering culture through code reviews, sharing, or otherwise.
• Build product features that are across the stack.
• Distill engineering solutions from high-level product requirements. For example, taking initiative to seek clarifications and fill-in the gaps given a high-level product requirement for a new feature.

You should...

• Have a high bar for code quality. Be familiar with software engineering best practices and be able to write clean, reliable and well-documented code with minimal supervision.
• Believe that documentation, communication and measuring feature success is part of shipping.
• Have significant experience working with strongly-typed language(s).
• Be highly proficient in frontend technologies.
• Be moderately proficient in Postgres and SQL. You will be working intimately with Postgres and Supabase.
• Have strong computer science fundamentals. You will not pass our technical round if you can barely write a recursive function.
• Have at least 2 year professional experience of building user-facing production-scale web apps in React.
• Be able to communicate effectively and have good written communication skills.
• Have a strong desire to learn and adapt, by embracing feedback and seeking opportunities for growth.
• [Bonus] Have a strong visual taste and hold a high bar for aesthetics.
