Job description

Build an AI-native operations platform that replaces spreadsheet-driven processes with real-time dashboards and agentic workflows. This role owns end-to-end product delivery for platform foundations, integrations, analytics surfaces, and the pilot launch, shipping production features across backend and frontend. Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain the AI-native platform core, including entities, workflows, permissions, and multi-tenant foundations.
  • Build an omni-tool integration layer, including connectors to common tools, event ingestion, sync logic, and action execution.
  • Develop real-time analytics dashboards with live metrics, drill-downs, and export capabilities.
  • Architect an MCP-compatible agentic integration architecture, covering tool registry, permissions, runtime, and observability.
  • Ship production features across backend and frontend, and provide hands-on technical support during pilot launch, including debugging and iteration with real users.
  • Establish and maintain engineering hygiene, including testing, observability, and on-call readiness for pilot operations.
  • Iterate quickly and pragmatically, balancing speed with correctness and operational robustness.

Requirements

  • Strong, practical software engineering experience, able to ship end-to-end and unblock yourself.
  • Experience building SaaS products with APIs, data models, and production constraints.
  • Deep familiarity with integrations, including OAuth2, webhooks, API pagination, rate limiting, and sync semantics.
  • Comfort using AI coding tools such as Copilot or ChatGPT to accelerate development, while maintaining tests, well-designed interfaces, and guardrails.
  • Familiarity with MCP-style tool interfaces or experience building tool servers and runtime integrations.
  • Clear communicator, able to explain tradeoffs and keep stakeholders aligned.
