Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate is a recent or soon-to-be graduate with hands-on experience from an internship, co-op, research project, or personal build. You should be comfortable with JavaScript or TypeScript, have used React and Node.js, and understand PostgreSQL basics. This role is less suitable for engineers who already have years of professional fullstack experience or who prefer highly structured, slow-moving environments. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot show concrete project work or when their resume lists technologies without evidence of how they used them. Another common reason for low fit scores is not demonstrating familiarity with RESTful APIs or relational data modeling.
Salary Insight
