Responsibilities

Staying close to customers: Talk to users, read feedback, watch usage, dig into support threads, and translate insights into shipped improvements

Being reactive (in a good way): When we learn something new, we adapt immediately—tight loops from insight → implementation → release

Shipping value constantly: Frequent releases, rapid iteration, and a bias toward making things real

Going where the bottleneck is: Work across the stack—frontend, backend, data, integrations, infra—whatever unblocks progress

Making the team faster: Improve dev experience (tooling, CI, local workflows, release process, observability) so speed compounds over time

Writing it down: Short proposals to align quickly, gather feedback, and document decisions

Making pragmatic tradeoffs: We’re still finding product-market fit. Sometimes we ship slightly rough to learn faster, then refine once we know it matters

Required

You care about the customer more than the spec: You want to understand what users are trying to do, what's broken, and what 'better' looks like. You don't hide behind requirements

You move fast and fix things: You prefer short cycles. Ship, measure, learn, repeat. When something's off, you act

You're comfortable in the fog: We're early-stage. Priorities shift, information is incomplete, and you can still make good calls and keep momentum

You take ownership: You don't just implement tickets. You own outcomes from idea → build → release → follow-up

You're relentlessly efficient: You cannot stand inefficiencies. You simplify, automate, and remove friction. If something takes 10 steps, you make it 3

You use AI as leverage: You use AI tools to speed up coding, debugging, testing, documentation, and support workflows, while staying accountable for correctness and security
