  • Use customer feedback, product data, and input from our operations team to improve what you ship.
  • Review code, contribute to architecture decisions, and help other engineers develop their skills.

WHO YOU ARE

  • You have 3+ years of experience building customer-facing software, ideally at a startup.
  • You’re comfortable taking a feature from an initial idea through development, launch, and improvements.
  • You have strong experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
