Background

Distro was built to take that work off their plate. Our AI handles the screening, scoring, and logistics so your team can do what only humans can: build relationships, evaluate culture fit, and make decisions that matter.

Responsibilities

You will partner with product management on requirements before they are finalized, and with QA on whether the test strategy actually covers the risk. You will write technical documentation that survives after you move on. You will also work on the boundary between our modern stack and the mature payroll core, which is where the most interesting engineering problems on this platform live — real constraints, complex data, and a migration that has to happen without a single missed pay run.

Qualifications and Requirements

You will need:

  • 6–10 years of hands-on full stack development
  • Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, with substantial single-page application work in Angular
  • Solid Node.js and Express, with real experience designing REST APIs or microservices rather than only consuming them
  • Testing discipline across unit, integration, and functional levels
  • Strong SQL and data modeling ability
  • Demonstrated code review leadership and mentoring
  • Ability to debug across tiers and reason from symptom to root cause under pressure
  • Partner with product management on requirements before they are finalized.
