## About the Role

3-7 years of full-stack experience with TypeScript and React
Deep knowledge of Next.js (App Router, Server Components, API routes, middleware)
Production experience with PostgreSQL and an ORM (Prisma strongly preferred)
Experience building and consuming REST APIs
Comfort with AI/LLM integration (Claude API, OpenAI API, or similar)
Understanding of MCP (Model Context Protocol) or willingness to learn fast
Strong opinions on code quality, testing, and shipping fast without breaking things
Experience with cloud deployment (DigitalOcean, AWS, or Vercel)

## Description

You will be our first dedicated engineer, working directly with the founder (who also codes daily). You will own the full stack: public-facing Next.js pages, internal admin tooling, API routes, database design, and AI agent integrations. A significant portion of your work will involve building and maintaining AI automation pipelines using Claude SDK, MCP servers, and custom skills/knowledge bases.

This is not a "prompt engineering" role. You will write production TypeScript, design database schemas, build React components, and architect agent workflows that run unattended.

What You Will Do
Build and maintain our Next.js 15 application (App Router, Server Components, API routes)
Design and implement Prisma database schemas and migrations for new features
Build AI agent pipelines using Claude SDK, MCP servers, and custom tool definitions
Create internal admin tools for customer management, onboarding, and analytics
Implement customer-facing features: GEO audit portal, citation tracking, reporting dashboards
Write API integrations (Stripe, Apollo, Google APIs, DigitalOcean)
Optimize for performance (Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed 85+)
Write tests (Jest, React Testing Library) and maintain CI/CD pipelines Ship production code daily. We deploy to DigitalOcean App Platform via GitHub Actions
