Their culture is one of low ego, obsession, curiosity, and collaboration. We value hard work and getting things done quickly. If this sounds like a good fit for you, apply now!
What you'll do
- Influence and execute the overall vision of our client’s offerings by collaborating with Product & Design to create products that help customers discover companies.
- Translate the needs of our customers by deeply understanding their needs and innovating our product features and services to exceed their expectations, ultimately enhancing their experience.

Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.
- 5+ years of experience building scalable frontend and backend systems
- Track record of building highly performant, highly observable, and highly scalable systems
- Demonstrated capability in front-end development with React or Next.js, focusing on a component-driven approach.
- Solid background in backend development, preferably with Cube.js or similar frameworks, and experience in building applications atop large data sets.
- Knowledge in search technologies like OpenSearch or Elasticsearch, with a knack for indexing, search optimization, and enhancing query performance.
- Proficiency in database management, design, and deployment.
- Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and integrating various third-party services and APIs into cohesive applications.
- Experience with Python and/or other strongly typed languages
- Obsessed about your craft and share your knowledge (tech talks, articles, open source, side projects, etc.)
right tradeoffs for what should be MVP, and what should come next
- Ability to adjust approach: You have a good sense for when you should cut corners to ship a new piece of functionality, and when you should take the time to invest in a sound architecture for the long-haul
- Comfortable with ambiguity: You should be comfortable “filling in the gaps” in product / design specs. The prospect of being able to prototype to test ideas out before committing to building is exciting to you.
- Able to work across disciplines with the minimum process to organize work and create predictability in an unpredictable space
- Have experience taking the lead in planning and executing the development roadmap for software projects
- Nice to have: experience working at B2B SaaS tech companies, especially during hyper growth
