Company info

  • 5+ years of experience, including a track record of owning customer-facing technical engagements end-to-end
  • Demonstrated ability to architect reusable solutions and mentor other engineers
  • Comfortable operating autonomously across 4-6 concurrent customer engagements
  • Have hands-on experience shipping software in customer-facing contexts - you've owned or significantly contributed to implementations, integrations, or technical engagements where you delivered working solutions directly to customers or stakeholders
  • Are comfortable working in complex codebases you didn't build - you can read, write, and review production code confidently, navigate unfamiliar systems, and submit PRs with appropriate testing and review awareness
  • Have fluency with data and integrations - you understand event schemas, data pipelines, APIs, SDKs, and integrations, the building blocks of analytics implementations
  • Default to showing, not telling - you reach for prototypes, wireframes, demos, and visual artifacts to communicate technical solutions, not lengthy emails or slide decks
  • Operate with high ownership and bias toward action - you don't wait for perfect requirements; you build something, show it, learn from the reaction, and iterate fast; you don't hand off problems, you hand off working solutions
  • Communicate clearly with diverse audiences - you can move fluidly between a technical conversation about data pipelines and a business conversation about what metrics matter and why
  • Are relentless about getting the customer to value - you take ownership of customer outcomes and drive implementations to completion, removing blockers and finding creative paths forward
  • Are curious and fast-learning - you enjoy picking up new domains and applying that knowledge quickly; the fastest way to become a great engineer is to build things that real people depend on, in environments you don't control
  • Have familiarity with TypeScript, React, Python, Node.js, and AWS
