- Establish engineering patterns and quality standards for a growing team.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 2 years of professional experience building and operating production software.

- Strong TypeScript skills and demonstrated experience building end-to-end applications, plus proficiency in Python, Go, or C.

- Experience designing critical infrastructure with sound judgment around reliability and scalability.

- Experience integrating with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, or data warehouse platforms, and ideally with data migration, ETL, or data pipelines.

- Direct experience working with customers on technical implementations or support.

- Substantive contribution to open source projects.

- Hands-on product engineering experience in a startup or similarly fast-moving environment; experience with distributed systems or AI agents is useful.

- Strong technical depth demonstrated through education, professional experience, competitive programming, or shipped projects.
