## Description

**Build the products and platform that power loyalty and customer-first monetisation.**

Thanks is building a rewards and customer-first monetisation platform that delivers sustainable growth – for publishers, advertisers and customers. We’re operating at scale today and entering a phase where execution quality, speed, and sound technical judgment matter more than ever.

We’re hiring a Senior Engineer to design and ship meaningful product improvements across our platform. You’ll independently drive work end-to-end, bring clarity to complex decisions, and consistently deliver at pace in a high-trust, high-impact environment.

This role is hands-on, product-minded, and execution-focused.

**What you’ll do**

**Ship impactful features end-to-end:** Design, build, test, and deploy frontend and backend functionality across our TypeScript / Node / React stack.

**Design thoughtful solutions:** Independently design technical solutions within our architecture, clearly communicating trade-offs while balancing speed, scalability, and long-term impact.

**Own meaningful surface area:** Take responsibility for a subsystem or domain area, ensuring quality, maintainability, and steady improvement over time.

**Bring product thinking into engineering:** Challenge scope when needed, contribute to sequencing decisions, and ensure we’re solving the right problems in the right way.

**Maintain high engineering standards:** Write clean, well-tested code, participate actively in code reviews, and contribute to a culture of contextual quality.

**Support production reliability:** Troubleshoot issues, resolve bugs, and ensure performance and stability across live systems.

**Collaborate openly:** Communicate clearly about progress, risks, and trade-offs, contributing to a high-trust, feedback-oriented engineering culture.
