📋 Description
• Identify and execute improvements to the codebase that make it easier for both humans and AI agents to move fast and ship safely. • Work with a group of senior engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy. • Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation and specs. • Own features end-to-end — from the backend systems to the partner-facing surface. • Architect scalable solutions and foundational patterns that let us efficiently launch new partner experiences. • Work directly with PMs and business partners to define and refine our roadmap.
🎯 Requirements
• A natural drive to fearlessly dive into an unknown codebase and deliver results fast. • Strong product thinking – your conception of quality and architecture is anchored in the customer experience, not in technical elegance for its own sake. • The ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows to build and maintain complex systems, and the judgment to know when to step in and when to let them run. • Experience designing the guardrails and feedback loops that keep AI-assisted development productive and reliable. • Experience with, or a mastery-level willingness to learn, distributed system development in Scala. • The ability to articulate not just how you'd solve a problem, but why, and what tradeoffs you're accepting.
🏖️ Benefits
• This position is offered as an Independent Contractor role (Prestación de Servicios) • The successful candidate will engage with Hopper as an independent service provider • Contractor maintains full responsibility for their own equipment, workspace, and compliance with local Uruguayan tax and social security obligations (DGI/BPS) • This engagement is governed by a commercial service agreement • Does not carry eligibility for company-sponsored benefits, statutory bonuses (Aguinaldo), or paid leave typical of a standard employment contract.
