What excites you

  • You thrive at the intersection of engineering and customer + product success, translating ambiguous business needs into elegant technical solutions that drive real value.

  • You're energized by working directly with customers to understand their challenges and architect solutions that transform how they operate.

  • You love owning the full customer journey - from initial discovery through production deployment and continuous iteration.

  • You're someone who has worked on early-stage teams, perhaps even as a founder, and excel at wearing multiple hats while maintaining focus on impact.

  • You're an expert at navigating ambiguity and making smart tradeoffs between customer needs, technical constraints, and business objectives.

  • You find satisfaction in building solutions that may not always be glamorous but deliver tangible, measurable value to the businesses that depend on them.

What excites us

  • You have 3-5 years of hands-on experience shipping production systems, with a track record of driving customer outcomes from concept to deployment.

  • You're comfortable owning the customer journey from initial pre-sales discovery through production implementation and ongoing optimization.

  • You bring strong technical problem-solving skills, especially in fast-changing, ambiguous environments where requirements evolve.

  • You're a full-stack generalist equally adept with client-side and server-side technologies (Ruby on Rails / Hotwire / Typescript / React / Node.js / Postgres).

  • You have experience with system integrations, APIs, and building reliable data pipelines between enterprise systems.

  • You excel at technical communication - translating complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and gathering clear requirements from vague business objectives.

  • You have experience building software for industries with complex operational workflows, ideally in hospitality, payments, or marketplace environments.

  • You understand that this is an engineering role with hands-on coding that also encompasses aspects of product management, technical customer success, and solution architecture.

What we offer

  • We believe in rewarding great work with great compensation. The salary range for this role is $150,000 – $250,000, depending on your experience, skills, and location.
