## About the role

The pod runs on short loops. You'll hear a problem on a customer call, have a prototype in that customer's hands within a week or two, and then use what they do with it to decide what's next. Some ideas will turn into products. Many won't, and dropping those quickly counts as a good result. You'll help make those calls as a peer, not just carry them out. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You’ve built and shipped production software for 8+ years , including time building new products from scratch at a startup or on a new-product team
- You’re strong on the backend. You know Python (FastAPI or similar) or another modern service language, plus relational databases like PostgreSQL
- You can ship a full product experience on your own. You know enough React and TypeScript to go from idea to finished feature without waiting on anyone
- You learn from customers. You’ve worked directly with users and changed direction based on what you heard
- You’ve built with large language models (LLMs) and have good judgment about where they help and where they don’t
- You make decisions without perfect information. You’re comfortable choosing with what you have, and you revisit those choices when the evidence changes
