What the job involves

• Build and ship core product features across the full stack.

• Move fast when speed matters, and slow down when foundations matter.
• Shape our technical direction, engineering culture, and early hiring decisions.

Must haves

• You're extremely ambitious - A strong track record of exceptional performance.
• You move fast with AI - You use appropriate tooling, in particular LLM agents in your coding workflow to deliver fast.
• You're confident using automated testing - To validate the correctness of important aspects of the software you develop.

Nice to haves
