About You 

  • Engineering Excellence: You have a solid track record (~8+ years) of building and maintaining production-grade web applications. You’ve evolved from "making it work" to "making it scale and last." 
  • TypeScript Mastery: You live and breathe TypeScript. You have deep experience with Next.js, NestJS, and Postgres. You know how to leverage Drizzle ORM and Zod to create end-to-end type safety that actually protects the team. 
  • Platform & DX Soul: You hate repetitive manual work. You naturally lean toward building "Paved Roads" reusable components, CLI generators, and shared services that make everyone else on the team 2x faster. 
  • Product & Data Mindset: You enjoy the "Hard Tech" of emissions management. You can wrap your head around complex mathematical models, OGMP reporting logic, and time-series data without losing sight of the user experience. 
  • Execution Power: You are a self-starter. You don't need a hand-holding mentor; instead, you want an environment where architecture is clear, and you have the autonomy to implement it using the best modern tools. 
  • Adaptability: You like variety. You are comfortable rotating between deep-diving into complex product features and switching to the "Platform Team" to refine our shared technology standards. 
  • Pragmatic Architect: You understand the trade-offs between "perfect code" and "shipping value." You care about code quality, performance, and security, and you know how to strike the right balance in a fast-paced startup. 

Highwood’s promise to staff and contractors is to: 

  • Treat you with respect, fairness, and honesty. 
  • Give you a voice. We will encourage you to question the way we do things, and empower you to speak your mind. 
  • Understand your goals, insomuch as you are willing to share, and work to help you achieve them. 
  • Support your growth, promote you, and provide opportunities to expand your network and foster your professional identity. 
  • Appreciate, recognize, and reward your contributions and wins. 
  • Make time to have fun and celebrate success. 
  • Foster an environment that encourages you to share your concerns, no matter how small they might seem. 

Your promise to Highwood is to: 

  • Treat others with respect, value their contributions, and lift them up, even when they fail. You never know how others might be struggling. 
  • Be patient with yourself. We work on unsolved challenges. We expect mistakes and see them as learning opportunities. 
  • Strive to continually learn and grow professionally and personally, regardless of where you started and where you might end up. 
  • Embrace innovation and change – there is no destination. 
  • Do your best – only you know what that means. Set boundaries and respect them. Take a break when you need it.
