Key Responsibilities

• Full-Stack Development & Refactoring: Responsible for front-end and back-end system development and maintenance, independently delivering project tasks. Participate in decoupling and refactoring existing PHP (Laravel) services into Nest.js, and contribute to developing services using Next.js, Expo (App), Go, etc.
• Architecture & Performance: Design high-performance, scalable APIs and data models; assist in analyzing system bottlenecks to ensure the stability of live services.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Participate in technical evolution, code reviews, and team collaboration, with opportunities to mentor other members and grow together.

Company Culture

• Voice: Everyone here is encouraged to fully express their views—whether it’s product ideas, feature suggestions, or improvements to workflows. We want you to think independently, not just be bound by requirements, and propose better solutions. We care about everyone's needs.
• Transparency: We believe in open and transparent business decisions. We want team members to understand the "why" behind every requirement. We host monthly All-Hands Meetings to bring everyone together and share updates.

Our Engineering Culture

• Technical Enthusiasts: We hope you love technology, enjoy exploring new trends, and constantly sharpen your skills amidst various business demands.
• Play Fun: We believe passion drives everything. We want you to apply what you know to build cool and fun things.
• Problem Solving: We don't want you to just follow specs blindly. We look for problem solvers who proactively identify issues and propose solutions.
• Teamwork: We believe every problem has more than one solution. Through brainstorming, we choose the right language and the right architecture for the job.
• Give it a try: Here, making mistakes isn't scary; what's scary is staying stagnant out of fear. Embrace change, and fix it if it's wrong.

We strive for CLEAN CODE and SOLID principles, aiming for comprehensive unit tests for every feature. We might not be perfect yet, but if you share this mindset or have better ideas, we sincerely invite you to join us and build this together!
