### **Our traction 📈**

We are scaling quickly in a massive market. This is a rare opportunity to join
an early-stage startup with meaningful traction, top-tier investors, and a
small team moving fast.

### **What you’ll do ⚡**

• Own and build core backend systems that power highly scalable messaging
infrastructure.

• Design, ship, and maintain backend services that can handle billions of
messages per month.

• Move quickly from idea to production while maintaining a high bar for
quality, reliability, and performance.

• Work closely with a lean, highly technical team across engineering, product,
and AI workflows.

• Solve hard infrastructure problems at scale across routing, messaging,
delivery, automation, and customer-facing systems.

• Drive meaningful technical impact in a fast-growing, early-stage startup
environment.

### **Who we’re looking for 🔍**

You are an A-tier engineer that will drive a big technical impact. You have a
passion to lead the build on new innovative products from scratch with the
customer experience in mind with every touch.

We are a people-first company, and believe it’s the foundation from the
smallest product feature to the biggest decisions about what we do as a
company. Businesses are built by people, and we think they should be built for
people, too.

### **Requirements**

• 6+ years of software engineering experience with strong career velocity and
technical ownership in early-stage (pre-seed to Series A) startups.

• Strong backend engineering experience, ideally with Node.js and TypeScript.

• Experience building scalable production systems.

• Familiarity with AWS, especially SQS or similar queue-based infrastructure.

• Ability to build from 0→1 and operate in a fast-moving startup environment.

• Strong judgment around performance, reliability, and system design.

• Frontend experience is a bonus, but this is primarily a backend role.

• High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward shipping.
