  • Design database schemas and write the queries that back new features
  • Implement client-side state and connect it to backend endpoints
  • Handle authentication, authorization, and session management across the stack
  • Write tests spanning UI components, API logic, and integration paths
  • Debug issues wherever they surface, from the browser to the database
  • Deploy features and monitor them across environments after release
  • Make pragmatic build-versus-buy and architecture calls under time pressure
  • Collaborate with design and product to scope and sequence full features
  • Refactor and improve both frontend and backend code as the product grows
