- Build reliable integrations with commerce and advertising platforms, as well as orchestration tools.
- Mentor a founding engineer while contributing hands-on to daily engineering work.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Experience building and owning production agentic or LLM-powered systems that integrate with third-party APIs.
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers, with the ability to prioritize across varied work and add structure in ambiguous situations.
- Familiarity with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, or email service providers.
- Early-stage startup experience, including building products from an early stage, or experience at a growing startup.
- Strong communication skills and a consistent employment history.
