  • Manage state effectively across our chunked architecture
  • Ensure seamless integration with existing services (Stripe, MongoDB, Firebase)

Technical Architecture

  • Optimize application performance while adding AI capabilities
  • Maintain security best practices for API key management and user data
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for AI model updates and feature releases

  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
