## About the Role

We'll back the right engineer over the right résumé.

 * 5+ years building production software, with real depth across the stack.
 * 2+ years at an early-stage startup (seed to Series B) - required. No playbook, no infrastructure handed to you. A purely big-company background isn't a fit.
 * You love building product. The one we won't compromise on. You care what it feels like to use and you have opinions about the interface. If you'd rather be handed a spec than help write one, this will frustrate you.
 * Fluent in AI, both directions. You build with it - we live in Claude Code - and you ship model-powered features reliable enough to sell.
 * You communicate with precision. An engineer, a customer, and the CEO all leave knowing what you decided and why.
 * You close things. Messy problems start to finish, and you flag slippage before it slips.
 * You're all in. Small team, office five days a week, rocket ship you plant a flag on - not a stepping stone.

Bonus: B2B SaaS in workflow-heavy industries; email, documents, or messy unstructured data; CPG, supply chain, or procurement; search and retrieval; multi-language data (Chinese, Spanish).
