  • This role requires strong technical skills, excellent communication abilities, and the creativity to solve novel problems under time pressure.

Responsibilities

  • Continue to provide support post-launch to ensure their implementation is performing optimally and meeting their business objectives

Requirements

  • Experience with web APIs, WebSockets, and real-time data streaming
  • Ability to leverage AI tools creatively to move quickly -proficiency with tools like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or similar AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping, debugging, and problem-solving
  • Problem-solving mindset -you can debug unfamiliar codebases, identify root causes, and propose creative solutions
  • Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced work -you'll often be the first line of defense on novel problems
  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment
  • You can balance technical depth with customer empathy -you understand when to dive into the details and when to step back and explain concepts simply
  • You're resourceful and self-directed -you know when to use AI tools, when to consult documentation, and when to ask for help
  • You have a "get it done" mentality and are comfortable wearing many hats
