Sr Fullstack Engineer

About the Role

At Ravenna, we are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a strong track record of building and operating production systems. You will help design, build, and evolve the core platform that powers our product.

This role requires strong engineering fundamentals and the ability to work across the stack. You will build backend services, design APIs, implement product features, and contribute to the architecture of the overall system. We care deeply about maintainable code, reliable systems, and thoughtful engineering decisions.

You will work closely with the founders, design, and other engineers to ship high quality product experiences while helping shape the long term architecture of the platform. Engineers on our team take ownership of the systems they build and think carefully about performance, reliability, and scalability.

If you enjoy solving complex technical problems, building clean systems, and shipping product quickly, we would love to talk.
