Job description

If you want to work on perfectly scoped tickets, long-term roadmap features, and clean, predictable sprints, this is not your role.

If you like jumping into real problems, fixing things quickly, talking to customers, and owning outcomes end-to-end, keep reading.

We are looking for someone who can step into a live product, understand it deeply, and handle the constant stream of bugs, edge cases, and small high-impact features that keep the business moving.

The Role

You’ll act as the connective tissue between product, engineering, and customers.

The team already has engineers focused on roadmap and long-term builds. Your role is to handle everything else that can’t wait.

That means:

  • Fixing bugs quickly and correctly
  • Shipping small but critical features
  • Investigating issues that aren’t well-defined
  • Prioritizing constantly changing work
  • Occasionally working directly with customers to understand problems

This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role where your judgment matters as much as your code.

What You’ll Actually Do

  • Debug and fix issues across the full stack (frontend + backend)
  • Build and ship small features that unblock customers or sales
  • Jump into urgent problems and resolve them fast
  • Prioritize between competing requests (bugs vs feature vs customer issue)
  • Work across Django backend and SolidJS frontend
  • Occasionally join customer or internal calls to diagnose issues
  • Collaborate with engineering leadership but operate independently day-to-day
  • Maintain stability without slowing down product velocity

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Django (Python)
  • Frontend: SolidJS (similar to React)
  • Database: Postgres
  • Data: Snowflake
  • Infra: AWS

Requirements

  • 2-6 years of experience (flexible if high ownership)
  • Comfortable working full-stack (not siloed)
  • Strong debugger and problem solver
  • Able to operate without perfect specs
  • Good at prioritization and managing your own workload
  • Willing to jump into messy, undefined problems
  • Comfortable communicating with non-engineers and occasionally customers
  • Career-motivated and willing to work hard

Who This Is NOT For

  • Engineers who need highly structured environments
  • People who only want to work on large, well-defined projects
  • Specialists who only do frontend or backend
  • Anyone uncomfortable with ambiguity or shifting priorities, * Do you have experience with Django, SolidJS, Postgres, Snowflake or AWS?
  • Do you have 2-3 years of experience as a full-stack engineer?

Benefits & conditions

  • 401(k)
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Vision insurance
