Responsibilities / Description:

• Collaborate with product managers, scientists, and other engineers to translate functional requirements into technical specifications and deliverables. 
• Design and implement user interfaces using modern front-end technologies.
• Develop and maintain web applications and systems under the guidance of a senior engineer from concept to production.
• Build efficient, reliable, and maintainable back-end systems.
• Write clean, well-documented code, and conduct thorough code reviews to ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to optimize performance and improve the user experience.
• This is a hybrid position based in New Haven, CT, with in-office work at least 3 days per week.
