## About the role

You will own technical systems across the stack. We're a small team, post-product-market-fit, and growing. We have real users and real problems. We prefer modern tools—Bun over Node, Fly over AWS when it makes sense, PyTorch over legacy ML frameworks.

## What they're looking for

- - Experience building and operating systems at scale
- - Strong opinions about architecture, loosely held
- - Comfortable being the most senior technical person in the room
- - Able to take vague problems and ship working systems
- - Code that survives production
