As a Full Stack Engineer, you'll work directly with the CEO and our first full-time engineer on end-to-end product development — from architecture to production. You'll have significant ownership over technical decisions while helping establish the engineering culture, systems, and practices that will support the company's growth.
This role combines:
- High-leverage product engineering, and
- Early-stage foundational work that wouldn’t exist in a larger company.
That means some weeks you’ll be designing core systems for our mobile app — and other weeks you’ll be setting up infrastructure, tightening security, or unblocking the team with practical, low-level work. If something technical blocks the company, it’s your team’s problem to solve.
This is a hands-on builder role, not a “ticket-taking” or purely abstract architecture position.
