  • Define engineering culture and standards for testing, on-call practices, and release criteria.
  • Work across detection quality, high-volume ingestion pipelines, and the customer-facing review UI.
  • Operate and debug production systems using observability and monitoring practices.

Requirements

  • At least 3 years of experience shipping production software with a track record of working across specialties.
  • Strong TypeScript proficiency across frontend and core services.
  • Experience working with data at volume and making cost-aware engineering decisions.
  • Experience building and operating AI agents in production environments.
  • Experience designing and optimizing high-volume data pipelines.
  • Strong product sense and the ability to turn ambiguous problems into well-considered solutions independently.
  • Experience with observability, monitoring, and production debugging.
  • Ability to make long-term architectural decisions in an early-stage, small-team environment.
  • Experience with pull request review automation or code quality tooling is a bonus.
