Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

We are hiring a Founding Software Engineer to own the product surfaces where customers live — the platform where calls are scored, issues are filed, and fixes are proven. You will take features from a customer sentence all the way to production and talk directly to the people using what you shipped. Responsibilities include designing and building product surfaces end-to-end (Next.js/React frontend, GraphQL API, Postgres data model — from schema to pixel), turning messy real-world workflows into intuitive interfaces, collaborating with design on craft-focused systems, joining customer calls, watching people use your features, shipping fixes the same week, and raising the bar on quality with tests, instrumentation, and zero silent failures. We require 4+ years of production web application experience with deep TypeScript and React expertise.

Highlights

Founding-level role with end-to-end product ownership. Remote position open to US or Europe candidates. Work across the full stack from database schema to UI pixel. Direct customer interaction and rapid iteration — ship fixes the same week. Strong emphasis on craft, quality, and instrumentation.
