About the role

What you'll do:

  • Work closely with customers, engineers, and leaders to design, build, and launch new products.
  • Take full ownership of the entire process of developing end-to-end applications – from shaping the idea to delivering the finished application.
  • Build and improve APIs, including integrating with third-party services to expand what our products can do.
  • Embrace a customer-centric, product-first approach – partner directly with customer success, customers and stakeholders to better understand their needs and turn those into useful features.
  • Keep code reliable and easy to maintain with solid testing, thoughtful reviews, and good practices.
  • Run and measure product experiments, using what you learn to guide future development.
  • Building scalable APIs and asynchronous event-based architecture that can reliably handle very high traffic.

  • Have founded or held early roles at successful fast-paced startups.

  • Early-stage approach: comfort with ambiguity, balancing speed and perfection, and the confidence and curiosity to help guide product direction.
  • An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.
