• Prioritize candidates with proven early‐stage 0→1 (pre‐seed/seed) experience at venture–backed startups with 3–5 years overall experience; avoid profiles from big tech lacking this background.
• Only consider applicants with substantial full‐stack TypeScript expertise (Node.js/React) across production systems—not just front end—and demonstrable experience with AWS and Postgres.
• Reject submissions from candidates with very short tenures or insufficient VC-backed startup exposure; we need consistent, high–ownership track records.
• Do not submit candidates needing visa sponsorship or H1B transfers; focus on those who can work in–office per our updated hybrid policy.
