How We Build

We build with AI - fast, iterative, and grounded in real usage.
We care about outcomes: the goal is to produce what gets adopted and used.
What You'll Bring
Experience Depth. 8+ years of software engineering experience, including direct technical leadership of a team.
Proven Team Leadership. A track record of leading engineering teams to real, delivered outcomes.
Customer-Facing Ownership. Experience working directly with customers to resolve ambiguity and shape strategic direction.
Cross-Functional Influence. Comfortable operating with senior stakeholders across the org, not just within engineering.

Strong programming skills in a primary programming language, and contribution capability in the rest (preferred: Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Python)
Strong intellectual curiosity and comfort thriving in ambiguity
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (i.e., Claude Code, Codex, or similar)
Comfortable partnering directly with enterprise customers — running technical discovery and translating findings into production-ready specs
Brings a "you build it, you run it" mindset — plans, codes, tests, deploys, operates, and continuously improves what you build
Experience reviewing architecture, technology choices, and design decisions, and helping teammates grow
Track record of building automated quality enforcement — gates, structural tests, accountability models — that scale without relying on individual discipline
Comfortable prototyping quickly across frontend, backend, APIs, and agent-based systems, using rapid PoCs to drive product decisions
