Featured on Business Insider. You’ll

  • Work across the stack: React frontend, Python backend + infra

  • Shape what we build next, not just how we build it

We want

  • Great product taste — you care about how things look, feel, and work for the user

  • 0-to-1 architect and builder who can work across the entire stack

  • Comfort talking to customers directly and translating messy domain knowledge into clean product decisions

  • Growth mindset, slope > y-intercept

  • Communicate with empathy and honesty. Tell us what makes you happy/unhappy

  • Don’t mind schlep. We are regularly knee-deep in schlep

Bonus points (if any)

  • Have built something people used/paid for (founder/startup)
