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

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.
