## About the Role

1. End-to-end ownership. You can drive a medium-sized initiative from requirements to production with minimal hand-holding. You unblock yourself, communicate tradeoffs clearly, gather feedback on your plans, and ship. You take long-term responsibility for what you build.
 2. Agentic coding fluency. You use AI coding tools - Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent - every single day. You have real opinions about what works and what doesn't. This is how our team operates, and we expect you to operate the same way.

What You Bring:

 * 4-8 years of backend engineering experience. What you've shipped matters more than your title or years on paper.
 * Generalist application engineer - primarily backend, but comfortable jumping to the frontend or data layer when needed. You've shipped major projects used by paying customers.
 * Backend technologies - strong engineers learn fast; proficiency in any backend stack is the baseline. Experience with Python, FastAPI, or Node is a plus.
 * Product sense - you've worked on user-facing surfaces and have genuine opinions about them.
 * Strong ownership, independence, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset.
 * Background - you've likely worked at companies like Indeed, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, Apple, or Meta, and you're ready to trade some of that comp ceiling for real ownership and impact.

Bonus points:

 * Startup experience where you owned a domain, paired with big-company engineering rigor.
 * Background in HR tech or the recruiting domain.
