The role

This is a full-stack role with challenges across modern technologies at some of the world's fastest growing startups.

You’ll build custom internal systems (data, workflows & interfaces) that make the work life of operators at these companies smoother. For each company, you’ll treat the systems you build as a product and their team as users.

You'll work directly in client codebases as an extension of their engineering teams, building everything from data orchestration systems to custom platforms.

We're looking for someone who values the craft of software development, enjoys building internal systems, and gets excited about how AI is transforming development. Strong computer science fundamentals are essential.

Key Responsibilities

1️⃣ **Building & Extending Internal Systems**

• Create internal systems: Build systems that solve real operational problems, making teams more efficient and reducing manual work.
• Connect platforms: Orchestrate data syncs and pipelines between CRMs, task management tools, databases, and other systems.
• Automate workflows: Build infrastructure that responds to changes, triggers notifications, and updates downstream systems automatically.
• Transform data into insights: Turn messy operational data into clear analytics and surface them where people need them in their daily workflows.
• Extend existing codebases: Work within client systems to add new capabilities, extend schemas, and implement secure event systems without breaking what's already there.
