You are a strong full-stack software engineer with experience building and maintaining production systems. You care deeply about code quality, reliability, and user experience, and you enjoy working across frontend and backend systems to deliver meaningful features.
You understand how modern web applications are built and deployed in cloud environments and are comfortable working within AWS-based systems, even if you are not directly responsible for managing infrastructure. You collaborate well with others, communicate clearly, and take ownership of the software you build.
You may be at an Intermediate or Senior stage in your career (we are open to either level). Senior engineers bring greater technical leadership and autonomy, while Intermediate engineers are eager to grow and deepen their impact.
As a Software Engineer at Rival, you will contribute to the design, development, and delivery of high-quality software across our product platform. You are responsible for owning the code you write, developing strong product knowledge, and continuously improving how we build and ship software.
