You will receive broad requirements and full autonomy to create the final finished product feature. You'll work agentically from day one, orchestrating Claude Code, Codex or whatever's best that week across multiple worktrees, and owning what comes out. Within six months you should be leading other engineers. You will be pushed. We're aiming for a unicorn in 18 months and we need people who want that outcome as much as we do.
