Responsibilities

• Own modules end-to-end– from customer requirements to shipped, paid-for product. The outcome is yours

• Talk to customers directly– understand what they need, decide what to build, and measure whether it worked
• Build when it's the fastest path– prototype, integrate ML into the product, ship full-stack features, unblock yourself in unfamiliar territory
• Make things happen– close the loop after shipping, don't just hand off a spec

• 3+ years building/managing production software
• Strongly familiar with at least one backend and one frontend technology
• You're good at talking to users and turning fuzzy needs into something concrete

• Habitual AI power user (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever's next)
• Strong opinions on AI-augmented engineering; always finding tools that make the team faster
• You can explain technical trade-offs to engineers and non-engineers alike, and you know when to cut corners and when to be rigorous
