As Our Core Technical Hire, You’ll:
- Define and lead the backend architecture and core product development
- Build scalable, reliable systems that can evolve quickly as we grow
- Make key technical decisions around stack, infrastructure, and performance
- Work directly with the founders to align product and tech direction
- Help recruit, mentor, and grow a top-notch engineering team
- Set up best practices around code quality, deployment, and security
You Might Be a Fit If You:
- Have 3–6+ years of hands-on backend experience
- Are fluent in building scalable systems, APIs, and data pipelines
- Have worked in high-growth or early-stage environments (or want to!)
- Thrive in high-ownership, fast-paced environments where you can move fast and build right
- Bring a strong product mindset and enjoy working cross-functionally
- Bonus: Experience in fintech, consumer platforms, or building 0→1 systems
