## About the role

Families meet Tin Can long before they hold one — on a landing page, in a friend’s text with a referral code, in an ad that made them smile. All of it is software. When it works, a family who wanted something better for their kids finds us; when a page breaks mid-campaign or a promised referral credit never arrives, they don’t. We’re looking for a software engineer to own the systems behind how new families find Tin Can and decide to bring one home.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years building and running customer-facing web applications, with real ownership of what you shipped
- Strong TypeScript across the stack — you’ve built and run APIs in production (AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, etc.)
- You’ve built integrations across third-party platforms and think in idempotency and reconciliation, because events arrive twice, arrive late, and bring the same person back under two identities
- You prioritize testability, observability, and reliability
- You’ve built tools for non-engineers so the people closest to a campaign don’t wait on you
- Platform judgment on commerce — what belongs inside Shopify, what belongs in a service you own, and what an integration’s credentials can reach
