About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build connectors and platform services. Implement integrations as declarative specs and build the backend services that execute them. Each new connector teaches you something about how third-party APIs actually behave.
Handle the realities of third-party APIs. Work with OAuth flows, webhook ingestion, rate limiting, and retries. Learn to debug failures in systems the team does not control.
Write code that handles state carefully. Work with connection management, sync state, and workflow execution where correctness matters more than speed.
Contribute across the stack. Build features end to end, including the React and TypeScript frontend, and keep frontend patterns coherent as the product matures.
Participate in technical decisions. Contribute to design discussions, ask good questions about tradeoffs, and develop your judgment for when simple solutions outperform clever ones.
Grow through ownership. Take on well-scoped projects, deliver them end to end, and expand your scope as you build confidence with the platform.
Collaborate closely with a small team. Engage in code reviews and design discussions, give and receive feedback, and help the team maintain high engineering quality.

Requirements

What you’ll need

2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building backend systems
Backend engineering experience in Python, with the ability to read and contribute to a FastAPI codebase. You do not need to be a Python expert, but you should not be starting from scratch
Familiarity with integrating external APIs: making HTTP calls, handling authentication, parsing responses, and dealing with errors gracefully
Solid SQL fundamentals: writing queries, designing schemas, and reasoning about how data flows through a system
Exposure to asynchronous patterns such as task queues or background workers (production experience is a plus, not a requirement)
Full-stack capability: you have shipped production UI in React with TypeScript and can own a feature end to end, including its interface
Willingness to work through ambiguity and ask for help when you need it
Clear written and verbal communication
Required to work on-site 3x a week in our Miami office (Coral Gables).
