Working model

Candidates may be considered from onshore, nearshore, or offshore locations. The role requiresdependable overlap with U.S.-based working hours and strong written and verbalcommunication across distributed teams.

How we will evaluate candidates

The selection process will assess more than technology keywords or years of experience. Inaddition to technical capability, candidates should be prepared to demonstrate:

How they have diagnosed difficult, ambiguous problems and verified the root cause.

How they have taken ownership of an issue or initiative and driven it to completion.

How they communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, and risks.

How they collaborate, respond to feedback, and adapt when presented with new information.

How they have maintained security, reliability, and accountability in production systems.

How they use modern tools, including AI-assisted development, without outsourcingengineering judgment.

Why this role matters

This engineer will help Vestige deliver dependable software in an environment where technicalbreadth, practical problem-solving, and collaborative execution matter as much as frameworkexperience. Success means contributing code and technical expertise while also making thesurrounding team more effective through clear communication, initiative, accountability, andsound engineering judgment.
