Senior Software Engineer (USA based)

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with the founder, product managers, designers, and engineers to design and build a high-impact product.
• Build and ship critical features with intent, strong attention to detail, and a focus on long-term maintainability and scalability.
• Own features end to end, from shaping requirements and implementation to testing, observability, deployment, and iteration in production.
• Contribute to and help shape our engineering culture as the team grows.

Required Qualifications

• You have 6+ years of experience building and operating complex web applications in production environments.
• You have strong experience building backend systems, ideally in Python using frameworks like FastAPI or Flask. If your background is in a statically typed language (for example Go, Java, or C#), that’s great too. We value strong fundamentals and the ability to learn quickly.
• You’re comfortable working across the stack. Experience with React is a strong plus, especially if you enjoy building thoughtful, user-facing experiences.
• You understand that velocity and quality aren’t opposites. When well done, they’re multiplicative.
• You think in terms of outcomes, not just implementations. You care about solving real customer problems, even when the requirements aren’t perfectly defined.
• You prefer pragmatic, well-reasoned solutions over theoretical perfection, and you know when “good and shipped” beats “perfect and late.
• You’re comfortable owning features end-to-end, from vague ideas to production impact and iteration.

How We Work:

• Start with a 1–2 week onboarding onsite in Los Angeles/Santa Monica with our CTO — travel and accommodations fully covered.
• After onboarding, you’ll work remotely with the freedom and flexibility that comes with it.
• Join a collaborative and supportive team that values high-quality code, continuous improvement, and having fun while doing meaningful work.
