📋 Description

• We are seeking a visionary Lead Engineer, to be a foundational architect and builder in this quest. • You won’t just be implementing features, you’ll be tackling fundamental challenges in how software mediates thought, how AI augments human capability, and how complex information can be made intuitively navigable and creatively extensible. • Your initial focus will be building automated workflows and data systems (e.g., synchronizing complex, hierarchical content between platforms like Notion and Supabase) that serve as both critical infrastructure and early explorations into these deeper challenges of structure, change, and representation.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ yrs building production back-end / server-side systems, with strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js) AND demonstrated experience with at least one of Python, Go, or Rust/Java. • Expert-level SQL proficiency and deep experience designing and working with relational databases to manage complex, hierarchical data structures. • Significant hands-on experience with PostgreSQL is a must. • Extensive experience with complex third-party REST APIs, including demonstrable, in-depth experience with at least one major content or productivity platform API (e.g., Notion, Google Workspace, Airtable). • Proficiency with, or ability to quickly ramp up on, Notion API production. • Proficiency with, or ability to quick ramp up on, design and implementation of diffing algorithms or robust change-tracking logic for structured/hierarchical data. • Solid grasp of API design principles (REST/GraphQL), secure authentication patterns, and secret management. • Experience with event-driven architecture, containerization (Docker), modern CI/CD practices, and pipeline observability (automated tests, monitoring). • Deep into AI-assisted coding and eager to test/taste all the new models and tools. • Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. • Experience with PostgreSQL-based Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms (like Supabase) or building custom backend services on PostgreSQL that expose data via APIs is a strong plus, particularly if you’ve leveraged platform-specific features (e.g., advanced functions, RLS) for automation, security, or data synchronization in such an environment. • Deep interest in AI/ML, particularly LLMs - obsessed with their potential to transform software, computing and knowledge work. • Love to nerd out on “tools for thought,” software malleability, and the history and future of personal computing. • Experience or strong interest in designing extensible platforms, frameworks, or systems with rich plugin architectures or APIs for customization. • Excellent technical communication and a collaborative, first-principles thinking approach. • Resourceful, self-directed, and comfortable navigating the ambiguity inherent in exploring new frontiers.
