About the company

Our client is a fast-growing consumer software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Support a busy, growing web application as a full-stack engineer with a backend emphasis. The early period centers on keeping the system healthy and fixing defects, after which the scope widens into collaborative feature work with a teammate.

What you'll do

- Provide backend and infrastructure support for a heavily used web application.

- Resolve defects and make incremental improvements during the first month.

- Take on a growing share of feature development as you settle in.

- Partner with a colleague on product work, gradually taking on more of the product side.

- Keep a rapidly scaling application reliable and steadily better.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Solid full-stack engineering skills with a backend orientation, ideally shown by prior server-side work.

- Around 2 to 4 years of professional engineering experience.

- Habit of writing and reasoning through code personally rather than relying wholly on AI assistants.

- Readiness to become productive quickly in a production environment with significant traffic.

- A real personal connection to music, such as playing an instrument or knowing some theory.

- Ideally a past side project or hackathon build in or near the music space.

Bonus points

- Background in consumer products.
