Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, thymia

• Experience working as a full stack engineer, with a minimum of 5 years of experience working in Python and either React or Next.js
• Experience with AWS and IaC
• Experience mentoring other engineers
• Strong collaboration skills - you will work with diverse people in a diverse set of teams - Neuroscientists, Data Scientists, Machine Learning Researchers, Engineers, Product Managers - there are a lot of different opinions and perspectives to take on board
• You are a great communicator, sharing feedback with others, taking feedback on board yourself, and advocating for continuous improvement

Desirable

• This is a product focused role, for a product minded person. You’ll work on discovery and delivery for thymia products, which currently include an API platform and a mobile-first web application, where users complete different activities - including things like playing a memory game, doing a video or audio recording, and answering questions via forms. Ultimately it is about measuring and tracking their mental health & mental wellness over time
• You’ll be involved all the way through the process from figuring out what we should build and how we should build it, to building it, to shipping it and owning and maintaining it in production
• You’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, engineers, neuroscientists, machine learning researchers, marketing - or whoever is needed - and have a healthy back and forth with them about what the right balance is to get something useful and meaningful out to customers quickly in a way that we can iterate on and improve continuously. We want to build lots of small features we can ship early and often, track and learn from how they perform, and continuously improve all the time
• You’ll work using mostly Next.js or React for frontend work and Python for backend work. In different periods we may be a bit busier with more backend or frontend tasks and you’ll be happy and eager to work across either, but you may lean one way or the other in terms of backend vs frontend and prefer to pick up tasks in one area where you can
• In engineering, we value pair programming and TDD, but we are flexible and open minded about when to use the different tools in our toolkit - there is nothing dogmatic about our approach. We also use Kanban for managing work
