• Collaborate closely with product, design, and data teams on new integrations and insights

• Tackle ambiguous challenges with creativity, speed, and AI

• Contribute to our culture of curiosity, humility, and hands-on execution

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of experience in software engineering, ideally in SaaS or data platforms

• Hands-on fluency with AI-native tools

• Strong backend experience; full stack familiarity a plus

• Clear, teachable prompt engineering workflows

• Passion for mentoring or technical leadership

• Collaborative, low-ego, and fast-moving mindset

Why Join Us
