## About the role

We’re hiring a Founding Engineer to own major slices of the product and infrastructure alongside the founders. This is a high-ownership, high-trust role: you’ll ship user-facing features, harden core systems, and help define how we scale—not just close tickets.

## What they're looking for

- Strong TypeScript and comfort owning features full-stack (React/Next patterns, server routes, database design)
- Bias to ship : you break work into milestones, default to simple designs, and iterate with real users
- Systems thinking : you care about idempotency, failure modes, and operational clarity—not only happy paths
- Product sense : you ask who is this for and what must be true for them to trust it? especially around data quality and AI outputs
- Bonus (not required): experience with Postgres at scale , Stripe billing , queue/workflow systems , LLM app patterns , or B2B data / GTM tools
