What You’ll Do:
Build core product features end-to-end (backend and/or frontend/mobile/web), from idea to production.
Define technical architecture and make system-level decisions that other engineers build on.

Ship high-quality, testable code at high speed.
Work closely with whoever is needed to shape what we build next.
What You Need:

Track record of owning complex projects and delivering them to production.
You Are:
A builder with a strong ownership mindset and high output.
Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high bar for quality.
