Requirements

An experienced product engineer with strong systems thinking abilities; you should be comfortable asking questions and improving the ideas that shape product iteration as well as executing on product vision
Significant professional software engineering experience, with strong experience in Typescript+React, Ruby+Rails, and RDBMS (we use Postgre)
You have experience with modern testing philosophies and can actively improve test suites that are slow, nondeterministic, or need updated practices
Solid technical fundamentals; you write clean code, think about edge cases, and care about quality
You introduce and discuss modern tooling and libraries that solve recurring problems in the codebase
You are relentless in pushing for simplified patterns in the code and you have examples of systems you've simplified.
You have built out tooling (CI/Editor) to enforce improved coding practices across a codebase and improve developer experience.
You have experience with writing component and e2e-level visual browser tests and know when to use each.
Comfortable working across the stack; you're not precious about frontend vs. backend
Strong collaborator who communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates
Self-directed: You take initiative, manage your own work, and don't wait to be told what's next
You’re comfortable using AI coding tools when they speed up implementation, debugging, or test writing, but you don’t rely on them to replace engineering judgment.
