About The Position

dynama is an AI-native broker for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands. We prospect, qualify, and land brands' products on new retailers' shelves through a technology-driven approach so lean CPG teams grow faster and spend less. We're hiring a Founding Software Engineer.

Requirements

2+ years of experience as a full-stack developer who has built and shipped complex products end to end, and can hit the ground running

You align with our core values of integrity and excellence
Full-stack application development and scalable system design
Ability to work with modern frontend Javascript frameworks, Python or other similar languages, and Linux command line tools
Experience using relational databases and ORMs as well as database architecture and modeling

API design and integrations with third-party systems (ERPs, commerce platforms, retailer tools)
Building and debugging non-deterministic systems — LLM and agent workflows, with attention to observability, evaluation, and reliability

Responsibilities

Own entire systems end to end: scoping, building, testing, deploying, and operating them in production
Design and ship agent-driven workflows that surface insights and draft real actions across new account prospecting, pricing, trade promotion, retailer coordination, etc.
Help define the roadmap by deeply understanding what customers actually need
Write clear, scalable, and performant code across the full stack while maintaining excellent test coverage
