About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Take ownership of high-impact product areas and ship customer-facing improvements daily — from whiteboard to production.
Rapidly iterate on UI, UX, and core application logic based on real user feedback and production data.
Decompose ambiguous product goals into clear engineering plans, execute them, and measure outcomes.
Use AI pair-programming tools to 5–10x your productivity, and push the team to do the same.
Monitor production metrics, troubleshoot issues in real time, own the reliability of what you ship, and contribute to the platform architecture decisions that define how the product scales.
Work closely with design, the founding team, customers, and CS to understand pain points, translate feedback into product decisions, and close the loop.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of full-stack engineering with a proven record of shipping customer-facing features end-to-end
Strong frontend TypeScript skills with modern frameworks (Svelte/SvelteKit strongly preferred; React/Next.js acceptable)
Hands-on Postgres and backend TypeScript experience — you've designed schemas, written migrations, and optimized queries
Daily, fluent use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) as a genuine multiplier, not a novelty
Ability to decompose ambiguous problems into shippable increments and communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where priorities shift and you own the outcome, plus experience with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and production monitoring.
