Kaiko Systems

Full-stack Engineer

• Prototype the hard problems yourself.
• When product direction is unclear, you write the spike: small, ugly, fast, built to surface the real complexity.
• You hand the load-bearing core to the team, stay in the loop while they scale it, and defend the architectural choices that came out of the prototype.
• Run the team day-to-day: standups, 1:1s, performance conversations, hiring loops, the engineering side of the on-call rotation.
• You set the cadence and the cadence holds.
• Allocate engineers to projects based on real knowledge of their strengths, weaknesses, and where they need to grow.
• Mentor and grow people. Give hard feedback the day it is relevant, not at review season.
• Extract architectural guidance from the CTO and VP Engineering and turn it into a plan the team can execute on.
• Stay hands-on: write production code, review the hard MRs, defend simplicity over premature abstraction, push back on shipping blockers.
• Continuously improve how we work — engineering process, tools, standards — as we grow within the UniSea Group.
