What We’re Looking For
Required:
- 5+ years building production software, with increasing ownership over architecture and
technical decisions
- You've built and shipped systems that serve paying enterprise customers
- You've designed systems that other engineers built on successfully — not just prototypes you
maintained alone
- Strong experience with Python and/or TypeScript in production
- You've dealt with messy, real-world data — inconsistent formats, missing fields, documents that
don't follow their own specs
- You've worked with LLMs/AI in production — systems with real users and real failure modes,
not side projects
- You've operated infrastructure on AWS (or comparable cloud) — you understand cost drivers
and operational reliability
- You have strong technical opinions and update them when evidence warrants
- You write readable code and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to non-technical
stakeholders
Good fit:
- You fix systems, not just symptoms
- You document decisions in code, not slides
