About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience and a track record of owning complex technical projects end-to-end.
  • Strong full-stack development experience; Python and React are preferred, but exceptional engineers with other object-oriented programming backgrounds may qualify if they can demonstrate an ability to ramp quickly.
  • Working knowledge of SQL, including writing queries, understanding relational data, and reasoning about data movement through a system.
  • Experience building scalable, secure, production-grade SaaS applications.
  • Deep understanding of modern software architecture, application programming interfaces, distributed systems, and cloud-native development.
  • A track record of raising code quality through personal work and thoughtful code and design reviews.
  • Strong product judgment, including attention to user experience and willingness to question requirements that do not address the customer problem.
  • A systems mindset and ability to identify when upstream or downstream work is out of sync.
  • A pragmatic delivery approach: scoping work, breaking it into shippable increments, and delivering without over-engineering.
  • Strong collaborative instincts and clear written and verbal communication, including effective cross-functional work with Engineering, Product, Design, Data Science, and Customer Success.
  • A low-ego approach, high standards, and receptiveness to feedback.
  • Intellectual curiosity and comfort with changing priorities and investigating problems in depth.

Responsibilities

  • Own technical delivery of key product initiatives across the Python (FastAPI), React, and Postgres stack.
  • Partner with the Head of Engineering and Chief Product & Technology Officer to translate product vision into scalable technical solutions.
  • Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and design sessions, applying technical judgment to improve team quality.
  • Balance speed, scalability, maintainability, and customer value when making technical tradeoffs.
  • Build production software as a core individual contributor and set a high technical standard through personal work.
  • Improve engineering practices for testing, observability, deployment, code quality, and operational excellence.
  • Work with Product, Design, Data Science, and the Forward-Deployed Team to solve complex customer problems.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify systems, improve developer experience, and reduce technical debt as the platform evolves.
  • Help assess and welcome prospective engineers during hiring.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with AWS and modern deployment practices, including continuous integration and continuous delivery, observability, monitoring, and infrastructure management.
  • Experience building data-intensive products or analytics platforms.
  • Familiarity with experimentation, statistics, or machine learning concepts.
  • Experience integrating AI-assisted development tools into engineering workflows.
  • Experience in an early-stage, high-growth SaaS startup.
  • Experience building products for enterprise customers with complex technical environments.
