## About the role

Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. We need an engineer who can work across backend + frontend to ship the highest-leverage product and growth improvements - whatever moves the needle.

## What they're looking for

- Have strong backend fundamentals (APIs, DBs, async jobs, caching, performance, reliability)
- Can comfortably ship frontend changes (React/TypeScript or similar), even if it’s not your “main thing.”
- Care deeply about product outcomes and can translate ambiguity into shipped work
- Prefer shipping and learning over long debates, you can move quickly without breaking things
- 6–10+ years of experience shipping production software (startup pace preferred)
