  • You bring 5–7+ years of full-stack software engineering experience
  • You have a proven track record of building, maintaining, and supporting internal tooling or systems that streamline engineering or business operations

  • You thrive in an early-stage, 0→1 environment where the problem space is still being defined

Nice-to-Haves

  • You’re familiar with support tooling, CRM systems, or workflow automation platforms
