What You’ll Do

Confidential Client is hiring a Full Stack Engineer to own the parent-facing web and mobile experience end-to-end. You’ll build simple, trust-first interfaces for non-technical users (parents), shape the data model that powers reimbursements and statements, and ship frequent product iterations that measurably improve user outcomes.

• Own parent-facing features: receipts, claims, reimbursements, and statements across web and mobile
• Design and implement trust-first UX for non-technical users
• Lead data modeling efforts and optimize app performance (latency, API patterns) as usage scales
• Run fast experiments (A/B tests), iterate on learnings, and ship to production multiple times per week
• Collaborate closely with founders and cross-functional engineers on product and UX trade-offs
• Travel occasionally to meet users for on-site research and feedback sessions

• A history of shipping to production regularly (personal projects, side projects, or prior roles)
• High attention to detail and an understanding of user psychology
• Comfortable working autonomously in a flat, high-agency startup environment
• Willingness to meet users in-person for research and validation
