Full-Stack Engineer

Summary

Kindred is a members-only home swapping platform that enables people to exchange primary residences and travel through a trusted community. The company is seeking a full-stack Software Engineer to lead UI/UX-focused development across React and React Native while building APIs and data models, shipping end-to-end features, and improving consumer web and mobile experiences.

Responsibilities

• Build features that feel effortless to users and are easy for other engineers to extend
• Balance business priorities, user experience, and a durable technical foundation when the three pull in different directions
• Track down production issues wherever they live, from the UI to the backend
• Keep raising the bar on quality and speed as our web and mobile surfaces grow

Skills

• Have 3+ years building consumer-facing applications, with real depth in React and React Native and enough backend experience to build a feature all the way down
• Are fluent in TypeScript across the stack — we build on Next.js, React Native/Expo, and Node + GraphQL over Postgres, and value people who pick up new tools quickly over people who've used exactly ours
• Have a sharp eye for UI detail and a deep understanding of consumer UX across web and mobile, with a track record of building interfaces that stay fast and reusable at scale
• Have the product and design judgment to work from a rough direction — you make the dozens of small calls a spec never covers, and know which few are worth escalating
• Have strong ownership instincts — you see the thing through to shipped and working, and pick up the unglamorous parts nobody assigned
• Communicate and listen well, and work easily cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment
• Are motivated by consumer products that shape how people behave
