• Strong technical depth with demonstrated experience designing or rearchitecting complex production systems.
• Strong experience with Python, TypeScript, and React.
• Experience building backend services, APIs, integrations, and distributed systems.
• Strong PostgreSQL experience; Redis experience preferred.
• Experience with authentication/authorization, testing, deployment, and release automation.

• Experience working directly with founders, customers, or end users.
• Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments with high ownership.

Preferred Traits

• Strong systems thinker who can demonstrate depth beyond simply knowing the right technologies.
• Has personally built complex systems from scratch and can clearly explain architecture decisions, tradeoffs, scale, and technical challenges.
• Product-minded engineer who cares about UX and customer outcomes, not just backend architecture.
• Comfortable using AI coding tools to significantly accelerate development while understanding their limitations.
• Independent, curious, and capable of moving quickly with limited process.
• Willing to challenge assumptions and propose simpler or better approaches.
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and handling the unglamorous work required at an early-stage startup.
