Job Level

About the role

  • Own features end-to-end — define the problem, build the solution, deploy it, and iterate until it works
  • Ship high-quality, user-facing product experiences across frontend and backend systems
  • Partner with Product and Design to break down ambiguous problems into simple, effective solutions — then build them
  • Leverage AI-powered development tools (code generation, copilots, agent workflows) to move faster and cut manual overhead
  • Identify and implement AI capabilities in the product where they meaningfully improve the member experience
  • Ship continuously, instrument what you build, and use customer behavior and feedback to drive the next iteration.
  • Make system design decisions that balance speed, scalability, and maintainability — and own the tradeoffs
  • Build and improve developer workflows through automation, internal tooling, and AI-assisted processes
  • A habit of evaluating new tools, frameworks, and approaches — and a willingness to recommend what works and kill what doesn't

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping production software in a product-focused environment
  • Strong fullstack engineering skills (e.g., Python, Django, React, or similar modern frameworks)
  • Track record of owning features or systems end-to-end and delivering measurable user impact
  • Experience using AI developer tools (copilots, code agents, custom workflows) to ship faster — not just experiment with them
  • Ability to take a loosely defined member problem and drive it to a shipped solution without waiting for a fully specced PRD
  • Product instinct that lets you make good scope and UX tradeoffs without a designer in every conversation
  • Clear communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical partners
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI agents and automation into development workflows and product features
Benefits
  • Hybrid Work Model: Based in San Francisco with a balance of in-office and remote flexibility.
  • Fresh Lunch: Provided on in-office days.
  • Commuter Support: $150 monthly reimbursement for transit expenses.
  • Health & Wellness: $200 quarterly reimbursement to support your well-being.
  • Time Off: Flexible PTO plus 14 company holidays.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: 100% medical, dental, and vision for employees; 75% coverage for dependents.
  • Parental Leave: 16 weeks fully paid.
  • Retirement & Ownership: 401k plan plus an equity package.
  • Team Connection: Quarterly virtual events and an annual in-person summit.
