  • Own the architecture and roadmap for a core product area end-to-end - from data model to UI - partnering with design and product to ship experiences customers love
  • Lead the design of systems that surface insight from data at massive scale. Think real-time search across billions of log entries or automatic detection of common user paths across millions of events
  • Drive adoption of AI/ML in the product, from bug-detection pipelines to full-stack AI-powered recommendations
  • Set technical direction for scaling our infrastructure cost-effectively while maintaining reliability under heavy load
  • Raise the bar for the team: mentor engineers, review architecture decisions, and model strong full-stack craftsmanship

  • 8+ years as a full-stack engineer, with a track record of owning both production frontend (React or similar) and backend systems. You're as fluent in the UI layer as in APIs and data.

  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and excited about building AI-powered capabilities into the product
  • A strong hands-on collaborator with a bias to action. You lead from the front and help the team deliver on their estimates

  • A track record of mentoring engineers and elevating team-wide technical practices

  • Unlimited vacation policy
