Write maintainable code, support production reliability, and take ownership of features through deployment and ongoing use.
-
Contribute to engineering culture, standards, and hiring as the team expands.
What We're Looking For
-
One to three years of experience building and shipping production software, ideally at an early-stage company or as a founder.

Full-stack development skills, including TypeScript and React, a modern backend stack, and relational databases.
-
Hands-on experience building with AI or large language models, professionally or through personal projects.
-
Experience owning features end to end, building data models and user-facing interfaces, and making sound engineering trade-offs under time constraints.
-
Strong product judgment, communication skills, and comfort working with ambiguity in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.
