Requirements
• 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with demonstrated success shipping early-stage products from 0 to 1.0 and scaling them beyond. • Deep proficiency in TypeScript across the full stack. Comfortable owning UI/UX implementation—not just backend services. Python experience is a bonus. • Track record of owning user-facing features end-to-end—from the interface users interact with to the infrastructure that powers it—rather than primarily platform or backend systems work. • 5+ years working with Postgres, Redis, and at least one major cloud platform (AWS strongly preferred). You understand distributed systems tradeoffs. • Strong design and architectural thinking—you have opinions about how systems should be built, including user-facing interfaces, and can articulate the tradeoffs in your choices. Has taste for UI/UX. • Proven experience with production observability (Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent). You've debugged complex issues in production systems. • Experience building with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You understand the ecosystem and have shipped with it. • Genuine interest in AI, LLM tooling, and where this space is heading. You follow the landscape closely, have formed opinions, and are excited about building in this domain. • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising technical standards on teams you've joined. • Self-directed with strong judgment: you identify problems before they're obvious, propose solutions confidently, ship with incomplete information, and keep the team aligned through clear communication. • Comfortable with AI-powered development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) as force multipliers for your work. • What You'll Get in Return:
