## About the role

We just shipped Fireworks Nexus : a drop-in platform that lets engineering organizations route their AI workloads off expensive proprietary models and onto high-performing open models like Kimi-K3 and GLM-5.2, without changing how a single developer works.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years as a software engineer, with meaningful time spent building and shipping user-facing products
- Strong full-stack skills, comfortable across frontend (React/TypeScript), backend (Python, Go, or similar), APIs, and databases
- A track record of shipping developer-facing products: APIs, dashboards, consoles, CLIs, or developer tools
- Genuine end-to-end ownership, you're as comfortable scoping an ambiguous problem as you are deploying the fix at 2am
- Strong product instincts: you optimize for the developer experience, not just the diff
- The ability to operate at high velocity with extreme ownership: you ship fast, make pragmatic trade-offs, and don't wait to be told what to build
