Job Overview
- A new opening is available for a Software Engineer — Product. The work arrangement is listed as remote. Skills mentioned in the listing include TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, REST APIs and Artificial Intelligence. The experience level listed is 4+ years. For general context: React is a popular library for building interactive user interfaces. REST APIs let the front end and back end of an application exchange data in a structured way. Read the details below carefully and use the application link on this page if the role matches your profile.
What These Requirements Mean in Practice
- ★ TypeScript: Adds types to JavaScript so mistakes are caught earlier; day to day it means defining interfaces and typing function inputs and outputs.
- ★ React.js: Building user interfaces from reusable components and managing the data that changes on screen.
- ★ Next.js: A React framework that adds routing, server rendering and API routes, so work often covers both pages and backend endpoints in one project.
- ★ PostgreSQL: A relational database where data lives in related tables; the work usually involves writing SQL and designing schemas.
- ★ REST APIs: Designing and consuming HTTP endpoints so a front end, mobile app or another service can exchange data.
- ★ GraphQL: Querying exactly the data a client needs through a single endpoint instead of many fixed ones.
- ★ AWS: Using cloud platform services for hosting, storage and databases instead of managing physical servers.
- ★ Artificial Intelligence: A general understanding of how AI systems learn from data, where they are useful, and where they can be unreliable.
Skills to Brush Up Before Applying
- ★ TypeScript: interfaces versus type aliases, generics basics, typing API responses
- ★ React.js: components, props and state, useState and useEffect, lists, forms and conditional rendering
- ★ Next.js: App Router basics, server versus client components, data fetching and caching
- ★ PostgreSQL: joins, indexes, transactions and constraints
- ★ REST APIs: HTTP methods and status codes, authentication basics such as tokens, validation and error responses
- ★ GraphQL: queries, mutations and schemas, resolvers, how it compares with REST
- ★ AWS: core compute and storage services, permissions and access control, basic deployment
- ★ Artificial Intelligence: supervised versus unsupervised learning, common real-world use cases, limitations and bias
Who May Be a Good Fit for This Role?
- This role may be suitable for candidates who match the skills and experience described in the requirements. Those who are comfortable with TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, REST APIs and Artificial Intelligence and enjoy building practical projects may find the requirements a good match. A remote arrangement may suit people who work well independently and communicate clearly in writing. This is editorial guidance only, and the employer makes the final decision on suitability.
Application Tips
- Applicants may want to highlight relevant experience with TypeScript, React.js, Next.js and PostgreSQL in their CV. If you have used AI tools or built small projects with language models, briefly describe what you built and how you checked the results. A short, role-specific summary at the top of your CV usually reads better than a generic profile. These are general tips, not requirements stated by the employer.
