• Ship end-to-end: UI + API + data model changes + instrumentation/analytics + rollout + iteration based on results.
• Contribute to pragmatic patterns in a Next.js App Router codebase (routing, data fetching, caching, error handling, analytics).
• Partner with backend engineers on API contracts that make the UI fast and resilient (filtering, pagination, performance budgets, versioning/rollout patterns).
• Improve quality through testing and observability (Playwright, Datadog), and raise the bar through thoughtful code reviews.
• Partner with Product/Design to translate complex system states into clear, trustworthy UX.
• Strengthen operational readiness for critical workflows by improving dashboards, alerts, tracing, and lightweight runbooks.

• Product mindset: you care about UX details, performance, and measuring outcomes.
• Solid engineering habits: code quality, testing discipline, and attention to operational readiness.
• You're a good person. While building a startup is hard, being a good person is not. We are creating a culture of people with whom you would look forward to working.
