  • Excellent cross-functional communication and a desire to mentor engineers and raise the quality of team decisions
  • Excitement about AI-assisted development, paired with thoughtful verification and a high production-quality bar
  • Nice to have: Deep experience with Next.js and Postgres data modeling; Experience with web payments, subscriptions, billing, invoicing, or entitlements; Familiarity with identity and access, B2B account models, roles, or provisioning; Experience with analytics, attribution, experimentation, CRM, or marketing technology integrations; Experience building internationalized web products or working across consumer and B2B SaaS surfaces
