About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ship, don't specify
Own a product problem end to end: from framing to prototype to production.
Move in short cycles. Days and weeks, not quarters. Your output is working software in users' hands, not decks.
Own the feedback loop. Get in front of customers, learn, and ship the next version fast.
Agentic coding and rapid prototyping are your default, not a side experiment.
You're a multiplier: you ship at a pace a conventional team can't match.
You'll help shape how we build with AI. That's a happy side effect, not the mission. The product is.
Our stack is TypeScript, React, Node, and AWS. We care more about how fast you ramp than what you know today.
You own the quality bar and the judgement behind what you build, not just the output.
Make product, design, and scope calls without waiting for a committee, and own them when you're wrong.
When the brief is incomplete, you narrow it yourself and move.
Your name's on what ships. You're measured on impact, not tickets closed.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've built 0 to 1. You've taken something from nothing to shipped, and you can point to the calls you owned and what came of them. Founder, indie builder, or early employee with outsized scope all count. Coordinating other people's work doesn't.
You're hungry and not afraid. New domain, new stack, hard problem: you run at it. You'd rather ship something imperfect and learn than polish something that never ships.
You build AI-native. AI tools are core to how you work, not an add-on. You have opinions on what's actually useful, and the scars to back them. Tool-agnostic on the way in; you'll converge with the team here.
You keep your edge inside a structure. You've done things your own way. You know the difference between autonomy, which you'll have, and authority over everything, which nobody has.
You've prototyped something real and put it in front of users in days.
You've built your own tooling or workflow to go faster, and you can show it.
You've got taste: a point of view on what great security or B2B SaaS looks like.
You've lived startup or early-stage, where nothing works until you make it work.
You actually care about human risk and cybersecurity, not just the market.
