You'll be working in the heart of our platform — contributing to our core application and plugin ecosystem — and making a meaningful impact on hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.<br/>If you thrive in large codebases, get energy from solving hard problems, and are excited by the chance to bring your ideas, passion, and expertise into a high-impact environment, we’d love to hear from you.<br/><span>Roles and Responsibilities 🚀</span><br/><b>Engineering Excellence</b><br/>-   Design, develop, and maintain robust, secure, and performant software at scale.    -   Solve tough, technical problems that matter — from performance bottlenecks to architectural improvements.    -   Navigate and contribute to a mature, complex codebase — and leave it better than you found it.    -   Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code that your future self and teammates will thank you for.    -   Share your expertise through code reviews, pairing, and mentoring.    <br/><b>Product Collaboration</b><br/>-   Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to deliver value that delights users.    -   Challenge assumptions, refine ideas, and bring an engineering perspective to product discussions.    -   Influence the roadmap by identifying impactful technical opportunities and trade-offs.    -   Stay close to the “who” and the "why" behind what we build — not just the "what."    <br/><b>Shaping Our Growth</b><br/>-   Be a culture and quality multiplier — bring energy, curiosity, and a drive to raise the bar.    -   Help evolve how we work — improving our engineering practices, processes, and standards.    -   Take initiative in shaping solutions, identifying risks early, and driving delivery forward.    -   As our company grows, you’ll help define what great engineering looks like at Matomo.    <br/><span>About InnoCraft and Matomo</span><br/>At <a href="https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/who-is-innocraft/">Innocraft</a>, we’re building a more ethical, privacy-first digital world.
