- Own systems end to end, from architecture through production operation.

- Shape technical strategy with the founders and define how success is measured.

- Iterate quickly using feedback drawn from live usage data.

- Work across the full stack, choosing whatever tools suit the problem.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Proven experience designing and running production systems end to end.

- A track record of owning outcomes and making independent decisions.

- Comfort working across the full stack, without a narrow specialty.

- A computer science or engineering degree.

Bonus points

- Prior founder experience, or senior engineering experience gained before AI coding tools became common.

- Experience at early-stage startups or health technology companies.

- Experience building and deploying LLM or agent systems in production.

- Experience with automated phone calling systems.

- Background from a leading engineering university.

- Experience as a student-athlete.
