What you'll do

  • Build products from 0 to 1, translating business needs and ambiguous ideas into well-designed, production-ready solutions.
  • Own the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from problem discovery and system architecture to development, deployment, and iteration.
  • Design scalable, reliable systems, making thoughtful decisions around architecture, data modeling, APIs, and integrations.
  • Work closely with product, design, and operations to define requirements, challenge assumptions, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
  • Build and evolve internal platforms, tools, and AI-powered workflows that improve efficiency and enable business growth.
  • Leverage AI-powered development tools to accelerate engineering workflows, improve productivity, and deliver high-quality solutions.
  • Make pragmatic technical trade-offs, balancing speed, simplicity, performance, and long-term scalability.

  • AI-native mindset: You actively leverage AI coding tools (such as Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) in your daily workflow and know how to use them effectively to accelerate development and problem-solving.
  • Strong understanding of backend architecture, APIs, databases, and modern software engineering principles.
  • Experience building across the stack using modern frameworks and technologies, with the flexibility to choose the right tools for the problem.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, challenging assumptions, making independent decisions, and taking full ownership of solutions.
  • A pragmatic, hands-on approach to engineering, with a bias toward shipping, learning, and iterating quickly.

Nice to have

  • Experience building AI-powered products, agentic workflows, or LLM-integrated applications.
  • Experience designing internal platforms, developer tools, or workflow automation systems.
