• Own authentication and authorization flows using NextAuth.js with multi-provider support (Google, LinkedIn, Twitter)
• Drive performance improvements across Core Web Vitals, image optimization, and server-side rendering strategies
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and architectural guidance
• Collaborate with product managers and editors to translate requirements into technical specifications and implementation plans
• Implement real-time features such as comments, likes, bookmarks, and reader engagement systems
• Contribute to frontend component architecture using React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, and shadcn/ui
• Establish and enforce engineering best practices including TypeScript strict mode, linting, and code formatting standards
• Participate in on-call rotations and incident response for production systems
• Evaluate and introduce new tools, libraries, and patterns that improve developer velocity and platform reliability

• Demonstrated ability to optimize web performance (Core Web Vitals, caching, lazy loading, image optimization)
• Familiarity with Tailwind CSS or utility-first CSS frameworks
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a remote-first, async environment
• A portfolio or track record of shipping user-facing features at scale

Nice-to-Have

• Experience working at a media, publishing, or content-heavy platform

• Experience with TanStack Query (React Query) for server state management
• Knowledge of RSS/Atom feed generation and syndication
