Senior SW Engineer (USA based)

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with the founder, product managers, designers, and engineers to design and build a high-impact product.
• Build and ship critical features with intent, strong attention to detail, and a focus on long-term maintainability and scalability.
• Own features end to end, from shaping requirements and implementation to testing, observability, deployment, and iteration in production.
• Contribute to and help shape our engineering culture as the team grows.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience building and operating complex web applications in production environments.
• Strong experience building backend systems, ideally in Python using frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.
• Comfortable working across the stack. Experience with React is a strong plus, especially if you enjoy building thoughtful, user-facing experiences.
• Understand that velocity and quality aren’t opposites. When well done, they’re multiplicative.
• Think in terms of outcomes, not just implementations. Care about solving real customer problems, even when the requirements aren’t perfectly defined.
• Prefer pragmatic, well-reasoned solutions over theoretical perfection, and know when “good and shipped” beats “perfect and late.”
• Comfortable owning features end-to-end, from vague ideas to production impact and iteration.
• Reside in the United States.
