• Design and implement internal tooling, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines
• Collaborate closely with product and design to prototype and ship features quickly
• Help define engineering processes, contribute to documentation, and grow the early team

• Languages: TypeScript (Node.js), Python (FastAPI)
• Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
• Backend: Postgres, DuckDB, GraphQL (Hasura), Kafka, REST
