## About the role

Small team, huge impact: We recently passed 65 employees and raised a $45 million Series B led by A16Z and Salesforce Ventures. Each new hire has a huge impact on shaping the company's trajectory. We grew in value faster than headcount and we’re looking to align the two quickly.

## What they're looking for

- You have strong experience with systems design, API architecture, databases, and production systems
- You have strong product intuition and care about the “why” as much as the “how” when building software
- You are adaptable and willing to work beyond the backend when needed to ship a feature
- You appreciate a high degree of ownership and thrive when defining solutions rather than following a spec
- You’re eager to talk directly with customers and use those insights to shape what we build
