  • Write scalable back-end code and ship clean, intuitive UIs
  • Integrate new APIs and AI models to power smart user experiences
  • Collaborate closely with founders and customers
  • Own projects end-to-end in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Details

  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

Requirements

What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong problem-solving ability and a bias for action
  • Comfortable working across the stack (Python, React, etc.)
  • Prior experience building user-facing products
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to Have
  • Experience with AI/ML tools or APIs
  • Familiarity with mobile platforms
  • Past experience at an early-stage or fast-growing company
