You will take ownership of entire product surfaces from day one. Not tickets. Not components. Whole products.
You will talk to customers, identify problems, design solutions, build them with AI tools, ship them, and iterate based on what you learn.
Every day, you have strong opinions about what makes software easy to use.
You think about the product from the customer's perspective first, but you also understand system architecture well enough to build things that hold up in production.
You carry both product taste and technical depth.
You are already building with AI (Claude Code, Codex, Conductor, or whatever works for you).
You direct agents, review their output, and take full responsibility for what ships.
Ambiguity does not slow you down. When the problem is undefined and the path is unclear, you figure it out, make smart bets, and start building.
You are not the only person shipping code on this team. Engineers and Non-engineers use AI tools to build alongside you.
You will review their work, provide clear feedback, explain technical concepts in plain language, and help raise the quality of everything that goes out the door.

Demonstrated experience shipping full-stack production software with real users
Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar) as your primary workflow, not supplementary
Strong product instincts and the ability to look at a feature from the customer's perspective
Solid understanding of system architecture: API design, data modeling, cloud infrastructure, and production tradeoffs
Track record of end-to-end ownership: finding problems, building solutions, shipping them, standing behind the result
Comfort in ambiguous environments where the problem, solution, and path forward are all undefined
Ability to explain highly technical concepts in plain language and review code from contributors with varying skill levels
Clear, direct communication in async and remote contexts
Preferred: Experience with TypeScript, Python, React, Node.js, or similar modern stacks
Familiarity with agentic workflows: orchestrating AI agents, agent-driven CI/CD, MCP integrations
Background in fintech, payroll, HR tech, or blockchain/crypto infrastructure
Experience on small, high-output teams where daily shipping is the norm
Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers.
