About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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

What you’ll need

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
