About the Job

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in backend engineering, with solid working knowledge of the other side.
  • A proven track record of delivering complex features end-to-end in production systems.
  • Deep experience with TypeScript or other modern application development languages such as Java, C#, or Python.
  • Familiarity with system architecture, API design, and scalable engineering patterns.
  • Proficiency with databases, including schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
  • Active, hands-on engagement with AI engineering, including real experience with LLM APIs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agent workflows, evaluations, or tool-calling, and a clear point of view on how AI has changed what you own and how you work.
  • Startup or high-ownership experience, with comfort operating without a large team or established process.
  • Strong product and customer judgment, with a track record of making trade-off calls based on what is right for the end user, not only what is technically correct.
  • Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, prioritize well, and balance speed with maintainability.
  • Strong communication skills and empathy for teammates and end users.

Responsibilities

  • Direct AI agents to handle implementation where appropriate, while remaining accountable for what ships.
  • Push toward a touchless pull-request workflow where judgment, rather than keystrokes, is the bottleneck.
  • Use AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or similar as a core part of building, applying judgment about where they help and where they do not.
  • Help the team decide how and when AI agents are used, and mentor teammates on working effectively alongside them.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering peers to deliver solutions that drive business value.
  • Mentor teammates by sharing context, giving feedback, and helping them grow their craft.
  • Own outcomes across the stack, writing production code directly where it counts.
  • Design and build scalable services, APIs, and user-facing features within the TypeScript monorepo.
  • Integrate with external systems such as HRIS and ticketing platforms.
  • Model data, design schemas, and optimize queries to keep systems fast and reliable.
  • Build for production with a focus on observability, monitoring, and testability from day one.
  • Participate in design discussions and code reviews.
