The Opportunity
We're looking for builders who ship at speed in the world of AI engineering.
You know that feeling when you're in a co-working space and everyone's just grinding
That
energy when someone's debugging at 2pm, figures it out, ships it by 4pm, and moves to the
next thing That's the vibe.
We want engineers who say let me try something instead of how does this work
What Makes You a Ninja
You're excited to:
Ship features users see within days, not months
Build full-stack: React UI → API → database → deploy
Figure things out yourself (read docs, hunt through code, test stuff)
Own problems end-to-end and make them work
Learn by breaking things and fixing them fast
Work on whatever needs to get done: frontend, backend, integrations, tools
You don't need:
Perfect specs before you start coding
Someone to hold your hand through every step
A senior title or ego validation
To ask 10 questions before writing your first line of code
Approval to try something new
Day-to-Day Reality
Morning: Product says we need invoice PDF generation
You: Read docs, check PDF libraries, start coding
By EOD: Working prototype users can test
Afternoon: Bug reported in payment flow
You: Hunt through logs, find the issue, fix it, deploy
2 hours later: Users confirm it's working
Next day: Can we integrate with QuickBooks
You: Read QuickBooks API docs, test auth flow, build integration
By week end: Customers syncing invoices automatically
No drama. No waiting. Just ship.
What You'll Build
Customer-Facing Products
Payment dashboards, invoicing tools, reporting UIs
Payment flows, checkout experiences, transaction history
Admin panels, analytics, customer portals
Backend & Integrations
REST APIs for frontend features
Integrations with payment processors, accounting tools
Webhooks, background jobs, data sync pipelines
Database queries, schema changes, data migrations
Data analytics
Whatever Needs Doing
Automation scripts, internal tools, CI/CD improvements
Bug fixes, performance optimizations, monitoring
Customer requests, support escalations, production issues
How you are expected to operate
Ship First, Perfect Later
Build → Deploy → Get feedback → Iterate
AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) handle code generation, you solve real problems
Automated CI/CD gets your code to production fast
Learn by Doing
Senior Engineer guides when needed, otherwise you figure it out
Read docs, browse code, test locally, break things safely
Real production systems, real user feedback, real learning
Low Ego, High Output
No politics, no titles — just build and ship
Everyone pitches in on everything
Exposed to entire company: product, ops, customers, CTO
Requirements
Technical (Baseline)
2-4 years of building software (or strong side projects/hustle)
React/Next.js/JavaScript/TypeScript: Build modern UIs, components, hooks, state management
Core: Go (Golang), Python, Redis
Data: SQL, PostgreSQL, AWS S3
Git basics: Commit, push, PR, merge
Mindset (Critical)
Hunter mentality: Let me figure this out is your first response
Execution speed: More code than questions
Learn fast: Pick up new tech by doing, not just reading
Fail forward: Try → Break → Fix → Learn → Repeat
Zero ego: Happy to learn, happy to ship, happy to be here
Grind mode activated: You're all-in on making this work
What You'll Gain In 12 months:
Ship dozens of features impacting thousands of users
Master full-stack development: React → Go → PostgreSQL → AWS
Build payment systems processing millions in real transactions
Debug production systems under real pressure
Understand fintech: payments, compliance, distributed systems
Become an engineer who can build anything, anywhere
Career Growth:
Prove yourself by shipping → take on bigger challenges
Early equity in a fast-growing startup
Ground-floor opportunity with founding engineering team
Direct exposure to CTO and company leadership
The Team
You'll work with:
Senior Backend Engineer (your mentor)
Peer Software Engineers (your partners in shipping)
CTO & founding team (direct access, no hierarchy)
Small team = high impact = fast growth.
