As a Founding Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in building the core technology foundation and shaping both the product and engineering culture from the ground up.

• Improve system performance, optimize APIs, and ensure high-quality, maintainable code.

• Work on deployment pipelines, automation, integrations, and end-to-end system reliability.

• Take full ownership of features from concept through release, including testing and documentation.

• Identify technical risks early and propose solutions to maintain product stability.

• Contribute to shaping team culture and mentoring future engineering hires as the team expands.

• Drive a culture of innovation by experimenting with new tools, frameworks, and approaches.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You bring at least 5 years of hands-on engineering experience with a strong command of Python.

• You enjoy taking ownership and working independently in fast-paced environments.

• You are comfortable wearing multiple hats and contributing across architecture, development, and deployment.

• You thrive in early-stage teams and are motivated by building things from scratch.

• You can communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and make thoughtful technical decisions.

• You have a problem-solving mindset and the willingness to iterate quickly while maintaining quality.

• You bring an entrepreneurial approach and are excited to contribute to a product's zero-to-one journey.
