Engineer

Location: Remote (CA, US)

Department: Engineering

What Youll Do

• Build and ship complete features end-to-end. You’ll write clean, maintainable code to rollout and monitoring in production
• Collaborate closely with the founders, PMs, Sales and CS to understand product requirements and navigate trade-offs
• Take ownership of your work with a strong attention to detail and a bias toward getting things done
• Contribute across the full stack with a lean toward backend and distributed systems as you grow your depth over time
• Learn fast, ask good questions, and raise the bar

‍

About You

• 2–4 years of professional software engineering experience shipping high quality code
• Ability to work independently with a strong sense of ownership. We’ll give you the keys and projects, but we want you to act like an owner.
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving instincts; you dig in until you understand why and fix the core issues vs just the ticket
• Strong communicator who can collaborate across engineering, product, and sales

‍

Bonus Skills

• Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, React, LLM-agnostic and Mongo.
• Any experience with real-time systems or event-driven architectures (WebSockets, etc.)
• Experience integrating third-party APIs.
• Curiosity about or hands-on experimentation with LLM APIs — youve built something with them, even if it’s with Claude Code
