About the role
About the Role
What You'll Actually Do
- Take product problems end-to-end — from data model to deployed interface — without waiting for someone to scope a lane for you
- Prototype fast, ship often, and instrument everything so you know what's working before anyone asks
- Push back when something doesn't feel right — UX, architecture, scope — and bring an alternative, not just the objection
- Use AI aggressively to move through unfamiliar territory — we build AI tools, and we expect you to use them to build faster than any one person should be able to
- Work directly with product and design to shape what gets built, not just how
You Might Be a Great Fit If…
- You've shipped products where you owned the product decisions, not just the technical ones — and you can point to something real that users loved
- You instinctively reach for AI when facing an unfamiliar part of the stack — not because you can't learn it, but because you know the faster path to a working solution
- You care as much about how software feels as how it's built — a clunky interaction bothers you the same way a bad abstraction does
- Ambiguity doesn't stall you — you create enough structure to move, then stop structuring and ship
- You close loops without being prompted — options, not problems
- You're energised by small teams where your work reaches real users within days, not quarters
Practicalities
- Location: Zürich, Switzerland — full-time on-site. We don't offer remote or hybrid arrangements.
- Stack: TypeScript across the stack — React, Node.js, SQL/NoSQL. Familiarity matters more than years.
