Job Description:
This is a senior, hands-on role with real authority and accountability.
You will shape architecture, influence product behavior, and drive features from idea to production.
This role is not about writing every line of code by hand. It is about owning outcomes in production and improving the systems, processes, and tooling that enable delivery.

Design, configure, and evolve AI-assisted development workflows
Make and revisit tooling decisions as the product and team evolve
Collaborate directly with product, UX, and leadership as a peer
Lead or support 2-3 engineers as the team grows (hands-on leadership, not bureaucracy)
Monitor operational impact, including AWS cost and system behavior
Push back when something isn’t right—technically, operationally, or product-wise.
Job Qualifications:
Senior-level full-stack engineering experience (typically 8–15+ years).
Proven ownership of customer-facing production systems end-to-end.
Strong experience with: TypeScript, SQL, NoSQL, AWS.
Experience with designing, configuring, and evolve AI-assisted development workflows.
