About the role

  • You'll move between backend systems, marketplace logic, and customer-facing surfaces - with direct exposure to the architectural decisions shaping how Mithril scales.

Responsibilities

  • Background in real-time systems: SSE, WebSockets, or event-driven architectures.
  • Prior experience at a startup where you wore multiple hats and shipped across domains.

Skills
