About the role

What You'll Do

  • Architect and oversee backend systems across our product lineup and internal tooling
  • Guide AI coding assistants to implement large-scale changes and new features
  • Review, debug, and refine AI-generated code to production standards
  • Use AI internally to automate business operations
  • Ship full-stack features end-to-end

What We're Looking For

Essential skills:

  • Fast at reading code, human or AI generated
  • Strong debugging skills and an eye for bugs
  • Capacity to envision large architectural changes and break them into steps an AI can execute
  • Ability to context switch and juggle multiple in flight tasks
  • Experience with Node.js and cloud infrastructure (AWS, containers, managed databases)
  • Comfort working across multiple codebases and problem domains

What sets you apart:

  • You think at systems scale
  • You're effective at communicating intent to AI tools and iterating on their output
  • You have good judgment about when to accept AI suggestions and when to push back
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and can take ownership of loosely-defined problems

Nice to have:

  • Frontend experience (React)—you'll be reading it regardless
  • Startup experience
