• Implement subscription flows, payments, and engagement features

• Ensure data privacy & security (compliance with COPPA, GDPR-K, etc.)

• Work with designers to create a delightful and intuitive UI/UX

• Set up best practices for testing, performance, and scalability

Who You Are

Senior-level full-stack or front-end engineer experience
