> Own and build the internal Capacity platform end-to-end, translating operational requirements into full-stack tooling that balances supply/demand and streamlines customer lifecycle workflows.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own the Capacity product end to end: scoping, design, implementation, and iteration based on feedback from internal stakeholders
- Translate complex operational requirements from Capacity, Sales, and SRE teams into clean, ergonomic product experiences
- Build and maintain full-stack features across the Capacity toolchain, including UI surfaces, APIs, and backend services
- Identify workflow bottlenecks and manual processes across the capacity lifecycle and drive their elimination through tooling
- Instrument your work with observability and monitoring so issues surface before they become incidents
- Partner with SRE and Infra teams to ensure Capacity reflects the operational reality of the fleet, not just the desired state

## Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent owning a product or internal platform end to end
- Strong full-stack proficiency; experience with NextJS, Javascript, Postgres / Drizzle, Tailwind and AWS. Experience with SST.dev is a plus but not a requirement
- Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into product decisions
- Experience building internal tooling, operational platforms, or developer infrastructure — particularly in high-growth or infra-heavy environments
- High ownership mindset: you notice what is broken, you fix it, and you follow through
- Interest in AI/ML infrastructure; familiarity with GPU infrastructure, or capacity planning is a meaningful plus

## Benefits
- Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
- 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
- Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
- Paid parental leave
- Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
- Company-facilitated 401(k)
- Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities
