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.
