70% Engineering: Technical Excellence & Speed
AI-Accelerated Prototyping: You use tools like Cursor and Antigravity to skip the boilerplate and ship working MVPs in hours.
Full-Stack Delivery: You build end-to-end features, moving seamlessly between backend and frontend code.
Debugging & Code Comprehension: You can read, trace, and reason about code.
Software Architecture & Best Practices: You bring a strong foundation in software design patterns, security principles, and performance optimisation.
Quality as a Feature: You write automated tests and manage technical debt, taking pride in shipping "magic" that just works.
Developer Experience: You obsess over the DX, treating API contracts and error messages as part of the user interface.
30% Product Strategy: Discovery & Synthesis
AI-Assisted Synthesis: You use LLMs to process raw feedback, summarising transcripts from customer calls, support tickets, and community forum threads into concise, actionable problem statements.
Data-Driven Decisions: You analyse feature adoption and usage patterns to identify friction points.
Challenge the Roadmap: You collaborate with PMs to trade off technical complexity against user value, proposing simpler solutions that capture 80% of the value.
Direct Customer Discovery: You join customer calls to hear about their needs first-hand, and to help understand complex issues.

5+ Years of Experience: Strong background in software engineering
AI Fluency: Demonstrated ability or strong curiosity to use AI tools for code generation (accelerating dev cycles) and text summarisation (synthesising user feedback).
Full-Stack Fluency: Proven ability to work across the backend and frontend.
Product Sense: Demonstrated ability to articulate why you built past features and how they impacted the business.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal English. You can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
