- Build and ship AI-powered security products across frontend, backend, and APIs.
- Develop scalable, high-quality interfaces and systems that power real user workflows.
- Work with minimal specs — define problems, make decisions, and execute independently.
- Collaborate when needed, but primarily operate with lean ownership and high autonomy.
- Drive adoption and impact — iterate based on real usage, not just requirements.
- Leverage LLMs and AI tooling to accelerate development and improve team productivity.
- Continuously improve systems, code quality, and developer workflows.

- Has experience or strong interest in AI-powered development (LLMs, agents, automation, copilots).
- Uses AI tools to accelerate development and decision-making.
- Can operate in low-structure, fast-moving environments with minimal PM/design dependency.
- Makes pragmatic trade-offs — balances speed, quality, and long-term thinking.
