Job Description

Ship a slice of a product feature to production - shaping it with your Product Manager, engineers in your pod, and GTM.
Use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot) as part of your daily workflow - generating, refactoring, and reviewing code with a critical eye.
Push to production multiple times a day.
Own incidents end-to-end when a service misbehaves - from the page, through investigation, to the post-incident learning.
Prototype an idea, knowing when something is good enough as an experiment and when it needs to graduate to production-grade.
Review pull requests thoroughly, and have your own work reviewed by peers who care about long-term maintainability as much as they care about shipping fast.

Requirements
  • Production-grade engineering experience.
  • Solid proficiency in software development with a track record of owning production systems through their full lifecycle, ideally in a SaaS context.
  • You work in Python, design distributed services using both RESTful and event-driven APIs, and are comfortable with DevOps practices, cloud environments (ideally AWS), CI/CD, and observability.
  • A sense for prototype versus production.
  • You can rapidly stand up a prototype to test an idea, and you know when an idea is ready to graduate to production-grade engineering - and what it takes to get it there.
  • Outcome-oriented.
  • You measure your work by the impact it has on users and the business - not by tickets closed or volume of code shipped.
  • Autonomy and shared ownership across the pod.
  • Pods run their own delivery without heavy ceremony or constant management presence.
  • AI as a force multiplier for the craft.
  • You use Claude Code, Copilot, or similar tools regularly, directing them to iterate rather than accepting first output.
