## Job Description

## What You'll Do

- End-to-end ownership. Drive a medium-sized initiative from requirements to production with minimal hand-holding. Unblock yourself, communicate tradeoffs clearly, gather feedback on your plans, and ship. Take long-term responsibility for what you build.
- Agentic coding fluency. Use AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent — every single day. Have real opinions about what works and what doesn't.

## What You Bring

- 4–8 years of backend engineering experience. What you've shipped matters more than your title or years on paper.
- Generalist application engineer — primarily backend, but comfortable jumping to the frontend or data layer when needed. Shipped major projects used by paying customers.
- Backend technologies — strong engineers learn fast; proficiency in any backend stack is the baseline. Experience with Python, FastAPI, or Node is a plus.
- Product sense — worked on user-facing surfaces and have genuine opinions about them.
- Strong ownership, independence, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset.
- Background — likely worked at companies like Indeed, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, Apple, or Meta.

## Bonus Points

- Startup experience where you owned a domain, paired with big-company engineering rigor.
- Background in HR tech or the recruiting domain.
