Job description
- Omni-tool integration layer (connectors to common tools; event ingestion; sync; actions)
- Real-time analytics dashboard (live metrics, drill-downs, exports)
- MCP-compatible agentic integration architecture (tool registry, permissions, runtime, observability)
- Pilot launch support with hands-on technical execution (shipping, debugging, iteration with real users), * Ship production features across backend + frontend.
- Design and implement a scalable integrations framework
- Build real-time analytics experiences
- Architect an agentic tool-use layer compatible with MCP-style patterns
- Set up strong engineering hygiene: testing, observability, on-call readiness for the pilot.
- Iterate quickly and pragmatically.
Requirements
Do you have experience in System architecture design?, * Strong, practical software engineering skills; you can ship end-to-end and unblock yourself.
- Experience building SaaS products with APIs, data models, and production constraints.
- Deep comfort with integrations (OAuth2, webhooks, API pagination, rate limiting, sync semantics).
- "Vibe coding" mindset: you use AI tools effectively (Copilot/ChatGPT/etc.) to move fast without sacrificing correctness-good taste around tests, interfaces, and guardrails.
- Familiarity with MCP-style tool interfaces and/or building tool servers.
- Clear communicator who can explain tradeoffs and keep stakeholders aligned.
