  • Champion engineering best practices, driving improvements in scalability, reliability, observability, and security

  • Collaborate closely with product managers and cross-functional teammates to translate business needs into elegant, well-architected solutions

  • Influence system architecture decisions and take the lead on high-impact technical initiatives

  • Serve as a steward of good data practices, ensuring privacy, security, and accuracy of critical datasets

  • Act as a change agent within the engineering organization—introducing new tools, workflows, and approaches that improve how we deliver software

  • Contribute thought leadership and technical expertise to support our long-term product and technology strategy

What You’ll Bring

  • Professional experience with several of the following technologies:

    • Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Java, Python, or C#

    • Frontend: React or a similar modern JavaScript framework

    • Databases: PostgreSQL or another relational database

  • Demonstrated experience architecting, building, and maintaining production systems

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction and align teams

Preferred Knowledge/Skills/Abilities

  • Experience with serverless architectures (e.g., AWS Lambda, API Gateway)

  • Production experience with GraphQL (queries, mutations, schema design)

  • Familiarity with event-driven and microservice architectures

  • Track record of contributing to architecture and system design in growth-stage SaaS companies

  • Daily user of AI-enhanced engineering tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)

  • Interest or experience in integrating LLMs into production systems (prompt engineering, embeddings, structured outputs, or agent-style workflows)

OUR CULTURE

We are a lean, fast-moving team that values bold thinking, reliability, and continuous learning. We operate with radical transparency, embrace scrappiness, and build solutions that anticipate customer needs. We also believe work should be fun and fulfilling — what we call “funfillment.”

The right candidate is energized by working in a scaling, mission-driven company where they can shape processes, wear multiple hats, and grow alongside the business.
