## About the role

You're a platform generalist with real backend depth. You're happiest with genuine ownership and comfortable with the ambiguity of an early-stage company. This is a hands-on role first: you'll spend most of your time writing code and designing systems. You self-manage, you work across teams, and you already lean on AI coding agents to move faster. As the day-to-day of engineering shifts toward orchestration, design, and cross-team work, that's increasingly where you spend your time.

## What they're looking for

- Deep, broad backend experience on complex systems. We weigh breadth and depth over exact years, but strong candidates usually have a decade or more
- Fluent in TypeScript, Python, and Go, with three or four languages on your resume. Rust or similar is a plus
- You've built robust backend services and platform infrastructure
- You've architected systems and data schemas across relational and non-relational databases
- Fluent with AI coding agents and use them daily to ship faster without dropping quality
- Startup grit: you self-manage, stay hands-on, and partner well across teams
