You'll work on a small, fast-growing engineering team (under 40 engineers) where individual contributors get in early and help shape the direction of our technology.
This role partners closely with US-based engineering leadership and cross-functional teams. Fluency and confidence in English, written and verbal, is essential — you'll participate in technical reviews, planning, and design discussions with colleagues across time zones.

- Build performant, responsive web interfaces that consume RESTful APIs and handle real-time, data-heavy views.
- Contribute to solution design and participate actively in code review with other engineers.
- Perform debugging, resolve tech debt, and drive continuous code quality improvement.
- Uphold engineering standards across code review, testing, documentation, and CI/CD hygiene.
Technical Contribution & Growth
- Help evaluate and influence the adoption of new technologies, languages, tools, and frameworks.
- Weigh in on architectural decisions with an eye toward scalability and maintainability.
- Pair program and mentor junior engineers as part of a growing local team.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Product, Design, and US-based Engineering leadership on priorities and platform direction.
- Communicate clearly and proactively across time zones, bridging any gaps between the Medellín and US teams.
- Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and translate business priorities into well-scoped engineering work.
