About the role


Transform How Frontline Work Runs

Who's Building It

  • Reza – Engineering leader who scaled enterprise systems at Google, Yahoo, and AT&T
  • Dominic – Operator who optimized labor-intensive operations in 21 countries
  • Mohammad – Stanford professor and leading expert in algorithmic market design

Hands-On Builders Leading AI Innovation

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You

  • Have 5+ years of backend engineering experience working with production systems.
  • Dive into ambiguity, excel in hands-on, high-impact environments, and drive solutions without waiting for perfect specs.
  • Care about clean system design, scalability, and architectural elegance and aren’t afraid to rethink the usual approaches.
  • Enjoy close collaboration with product, design, and AI research teams to deliver new experiences customers use.
  • Focus on business outcomes, not just technical output, and love finding solutions to real problems.
  • Are fluent in TypeScript and NestJS (or other Node.js frameworks) and know how to design decoupled services and robust enterprise interfaces; GraphQL experience is a major plus.
  • Bring deep expertise in PostgreSQL: schema design, query optimization, migration management, and handling concurrency in large-scale environments.
  • (Bonus) Have hands-on experience with conflict resolution in collaborative systems, graph processing, feature stores, or real-time coordination tools.
  • If you’re looking for predictability and structure, this probably isn’t the place for you - we thrive in fast-changing, flexible environments driven by initiative, not routine.


This Might Not Be the Right Role If You

  • Prefer clear-cut structure, established processes, or state-of-the-art internal operating systems; we embrace rapid change and flexibility.
  • Want a traditional corporate setting with standard roles, well-defined career ladders, and steady routines.
  • Rely on top-down guidance, detailed documentation, or formal onboarding; autonomy and self-direction are critical here.
  • Crave predictability or highly specialized functions; we reward outcome-driven effort, learning, and the ability to flex between roles rather than sticking to rigid paths.
