Why Join Us:

Role Responsibilities

• Turn ambiguous product and operational workflows into well-structured systems combining data pipelines, backend services, and AI-driven logic

• Design and build agentic AI systems that reason, take actions, and orchestrate multi-step workflows (not just simple LLM integrations)

• Develop and operate production-grade data pipelines powering both user-facing features and internal systems

• Build backend services primarily in TypeScript, with pragmatic use of Python where appropriate

• Design APIs and system boundaries that enable modular, composable AI and data workflows

• Partner with product and operations to translate real-world processes into AI-augmented, scalable systems

• Use AI-assisted development as a default—from prototyping to debugging to system design

• Improve reliability, observability, and performance across services

• Own architectural decisions within your domain, balancing speed and long-term maintainability

Qualitications

Required

• Proven experience owning and operating data-heavy systems in production

• Strong experience with data pipelines (ETL/ELT, event-driven, or workflow-based systems)

• Proficiency in TypeScript (primary language); other typed language experience is a plus

• Generalist mindset with strong data modeling and system design instincts

• Ability to go from zero → one → scale with minimal guidance

• You actively use AI tools as a core part of your development workflow (not optional)

• You believe the software engineer's job is fundamentally changing—and you lean into that shift

Preferred

• Experience in fintech, tax, or regulated environments a strong plus

• Familiarity with security and compliance considerations (sensitive data, auditability, access controls) a strong plus
