JOB DESCRIPTION

Join a fast-paced team building internal products that help unlock greater efficiency, autonomy, and creativity for users. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and design, offering the chance to own outcomes, shape product decisions, and ship meaningful full-stack solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Design, prototype, and deliver full-stack features across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
  • Work directly with users and stakeholders to understand workflows, identify pain points, and uncover high-impact opportunities
  • Translate recurring requests into scalable primitives, platforms, or middleware that support multiple use cases
  • Build internal tools that increase autonomy and make it easier for less technical users to accomplish their goals
  • Contribute to product direction and prioritization by making thoughtful decisions with limited information
  • Iterate quickly based on feedback to improve usability and overall product experience
  • Continuously adapt to new tools, frameworks, and evolving product needs

Skills

  • 6+ years of experience building production software, ideally with full-stack exposure
  • Strong ability to operate independently and take a product from idea through launch
  • Solid experience working across Python, TypeScript, and React
  • Systems thinking with the ability to identify patterns and create reusable solutions
  • Comfort working in ambiguity and making decisions without complete information
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Strong ownership mindset focused on outcomes, not just task completion

Preferred Skills

  • Experience building platforms, internal tools, or foundational systems others rely on
  • Background in product-oriented environments or roles that combine engineering and product thinking
  • Experience partnering closely with users to discover needs and improve workflows
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, high-trust environment
  • Interest in using AI tools and collaborative workflows to improve productivity
