  • Make architectural and technical decisions, balancing speed, quality and maintainability.
  • Collaborate with customers and internal teams to ensure successful delivery.
  • Take ownership of project progress and provide feedback to improve the platform.
Essential Skills

  • Proven experience building and shipping complete software products.
  • Solid understanding of software architecture, web applications, APIs and databases.
  • Confidence using AI coding tools and validating AI-generated code.
  • Strong technical judgement, communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage delivery and translate business needs into technical solutions.
Desirable Experience
  • Startup or small-team environments.
  • Building products from scratch or founding a software business.
  • Technical leadership, project delivery or solution architecture.
  • Direct customer engagement and experience working with non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with AI-native development and agentic coding tools.
