Responsibilities

Enthusiastic about working on technical challenges for developer-focused products and not hesitant to dive into the rabbit hole and become operational with a new piece of tech

Comfortable working in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment — aka the shifting sands of startup land

You love answering questions, triaging issues, shipping hotfixes, and proactively identifying ways to improve the customer experience

Enjoy understanding technical domains deeply and are willing to really get into the weeds

A high sense of technical ownership and a desire to delight the customer

You can explain complex technical concepts clearly in a Slack message, a doc, or a customer call

You're comfortable context-switching between multiple customers and priorities throughout the day without losing momentum

You don't see support and engineering as separate jobs — helping a customer and writing great code are the same thing to you

Have experience working on internal platform engineering teams, developer tools, developer productivity, or infrastructure products at scale

Have experience reproducing and debugging issues across different environments, languages, and frameworks you may not use day to day

Are a generalist and polyglot engineer with an ability to pick up new frameworks quickly and a willingness to work across the stack from backend to frontend

Have a track record of navigating unfamiliar codebases quickly — jumping into a customer's repo and figuring out what's going on doesn't faze you

Have experience working directly with external customers in a technical capacity — not just building behind the scenes

Bonus: Experience with code generation, transpilation, synthesis, or building/extending core web frameworks like Axios, tRPC, Mux, etc

Bonus: Expertise with OpenAPI, codemods, linters, building SDKs, or other tooling for REST APIs

Bonus: Expertise using LLMs for code generation or code completion
