ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage AI company building an intelligent growth platform for consumer brands. As a hands-on player-coach, you will build core product and infrastructure while helping shape the engineering culture and architecture.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build data infrastructure that tracks merchant lifecycle events and helps identify which actions drive outcomes.
• Develop an agentic growth system that evaluates operations, recommends changes, and executes them automatically.
• Own full-stack development of the growth engine, with a strong focus on backend systems and infrastructure.
• Build and maintain reliable integrations with commerce, advertising, and marketing platforms.
• Mentor engineers while remaining hands-on with daily product development.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Five to eight years of full-stack engineering experience, including substantial backend work.
• Experience building production-grade LLM-powered or agentic systems with third-party API integrations and end-to-end ownership.
• Strong experience with data infrastructure, event systems, and APIs.
• Familiarity with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, advertising APIs, or email platforms.
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and the ability to prioritize effectively and create structure in ambiguous environments.
• Early-stage startup or 0-to-1 product-building experience, or experience contributing at a growing startup.
• Strong communication skills and a record of sustained contributions in prior roles.
