## Job Description

## Your Impact
- Build and ship features – Develop backend APIs and AI flows that help product and research teams understand user experiences at scale.
- Own small features end-to-end – Take responsibility for well-defined product features, from design and implementation to monitoring and iteration.
- Collaborate and learn from experienced engineers – Work closely with senior teammates to review designs, debug complex issues, and improve your technical judgment.
- Extend across the stack – While the focus is backend, contribute where needed in the full stack, supporting product surfaces that bring AI analyses and insights to life.
- Contribute to quality and shared understanding – Write reliable, testable code, improve observability, and document designs so others can build confidently on your work.

## Your Strengths
- Experience – 2+ years of professional experience building and shipping production software.
- Product-minded – Care deeply about usability and product outcomes, not just system correctness. Think about how your work enables better customer experiences.
- Comfortable with or ready to switch to TypeScript – Use TypeScript for most development. Familiarity with technologies like Node.js, Temporal, AWS, or PostgreSQL is a plus. Main experience in Python or other languages is acceptable if ready to switch to primarily TypeScript.
- Fundamentals – Solid understanding of data structures, RESTful APIs, SQL, and testing.
- Communicator – Communicate clearly, contribute to reviews and design discussions, and learn through feedback.
- Growth minded – Motivated to extend skills into distributed AI workflows, inference systems, and prompt and context engineering.
