Who You Are

  • Bring somewhere between 2 and 10 years of hands-on work in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering roles.
  • Have worked at a pre-Series C startup, a high-bar dev tools company, or built your own.
  • Know Postgres, Redis, and ClickHouse at a production level, including schema design and tuning.
  • Use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools daily and can explain exactly how.
  • Move fast without cutting corners, with a track record to prove it.
