• Build and ship production-grade features end-to-end
• Design APIs, backend systems, and frontend experiences
• Collaborate directly with founders, product, and users
• Make architectural decisions and live with their consequences
• Debug real problems under real constraints (time, scale, ambiguity)
• Continuously refactor, simplify, and improve existing systems

You’ll touch frontend, backend, infra-adjacent concerns, and AI-enabled systems—sometimes all in the

same week.

Core technical skills

Frontend

• React (modern hooks-based patterns)
• UI libraries like shadcn/ui
• CSS frameworks such as Tailwind CSS
• Clean component architecture and state management

Backend

• Node.js (REST APIs, async systems)
• Python with FastAPI
• WebSockets / real-time systems
• Designing scalable, readable APIs

AI / ML (practical, not academic)

• Basic machine learning concepts
• Working familiarity with AI systems
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Integrating models into real products
• Engineering fundamentals
• Data structures & algorithms (used instinctively, not memorized)
• System design thinking
• Debugging distributed or async systems
• Writing code meant to be maintained by others

What matters more than years of experience

• Prior startup experience (early-stage preferred)
• Ability to learn fast and self-correct faster
• Comfort with ambiguity and evolving requirements
• Strong ownership mindset—you finish what you start
• Taste for clean, simple solutions over clever ones

What you’ll get

• High ownership and real impact
• Exposure to product, users, and business decisions
• Freedom to shape architecture and tech direction
• A fast-moving environment where learning is constant
• A team that values clarity of thought over buzzwords

If you’re an engineer who builds side projects for fun, gets annoyed by bad abstractions, and constantly thinks “this could be simpler,” you’ll probably enjoy working with us.
