  • Systems engineering fundamentals: Linux/server environments, networking basics, concurrency, resource utilization, reliability, profiling, and debugging.
  • Sound software architecture and engineering judgment: maintainable code, testing, observability, deployment, and scalability.
  • End-to-end ownership: independently scope, implement, validate, and ship features; communicate clearly and work directly with founders.
  • Practical, effective use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar), with strong review and verification habits.

Nice-to-have skills

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI agents, agent observability/tracing, or AI memory systems.
  • Kubernetes, containers, cloud infrastructure, or infrastructure automation.
  • Go (used in parts of our CLI tooling).
  • Frontend engineering with React and TypeScript; Node.js familiarity.
Your day-to-day in this position
  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Python.
  • Work with databases to ensure data integrity, query efficiency, and reliable performance.
  • Investigate technical issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement improvements to system performance and stability.
  • Build scalable, maintainable software solutions.
  • Write, test, review, and deploy code, ensuring quality and reliability throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Collaborate directly with technical stakeholders to clarify requirements, propose solutions, and deliver features end to end.
  • Identify opportunities to improve existing systems, development workflows, and engineering practices.
  • Leverage AI-powered development tools to improve productivity while maintaining high code quality and correctness.
