📋 Description

• This role sits on our platform team: designing, building, and maintaining the backend APIs and services the rest of engineering builds on, as our AI workflow platform scales to many times its current surface. • Sample projects include building a unified API for our insights data and storing metrics from our data providers at scale. • The stack is Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, with React on the frontend. • We're remote by default with real in-person time: product, engineering, and design get together for a focused build week every couple of months, plus a summer retreat.

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years building and maintaining large-scale software applications, with recent years operating at a Staff or Lead IC level: setting technical direction, not just executing it • A track record of taking products from 0 to 1, ideally at Series A to C startups • You raise an engineering team's bar: design reviews, mentoring, and standards other engineers adopt • Comfort with a fast pace: short project cycles, evolving requirements, high ownership • Exceptional written and verbal communication, including translating technical issues into business impact • Experience building or integrating LLM-powered product features or agent systems • Able to work with significant overlap to Eastern Time

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation, including equity for all employees • Health benefits from day one • Monthly health and lifestyle stipend, 20 days PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend • Remote-first with optional office hubs, in-person build weeks every two months, and a summer retreat • We have a Toronto based office Hub for those wishing to meet in person
