Software Engineer - Fullstack

The Impact You’ll Make

As a Fullstack Engineer on Nextdoor’s Local Conversations team, you’ll join the Rewards & Incentives pod and help build product experiences that encourage meaningful participation in neighborhood communities. You’ll work across the frontend and backend, with a strong focus on building high-quality web experiences using React and Python/Django.

You’ll contribute to two evolving product areas to start. This is a highly hands-on engineering role. You’ll contribute to entity-relationship modeling, solution architecture, implementation, testing, and iteration, while partnering with product, design, and engineering teammates.

You’ll also participate in team operating practices, including a gradual on-call shadow rotation after onboarding and ramp-up. The team will review role-specific expectations with candidates during the hiring process.
