What You'll Be Working On:

  • Integrating APIs and handling webhooks

  • Improving LLM-based workflows and response logic

  • Handling edge cases in communication and payment flows

  • Building internal dashboards and lightweight admin tools

  • Managing deployment and iteration cycles

Tech Stack:

  • Frontend & Backend: Next.js, TypeScript, Node

  • Infrastructure: Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Functions), Vercel

  • APIs: SMS, Payment, AI (LLM)

What Were Looking For:

  • Experience shipping full-stack products independently

  • Strong grasp of TypeScript and modern web frameworks

  • Familiarity with serverless and edge function infrastructure

  • A fast-moving builder who can figure things out and ship

  • Excited by early-stage ambiguity and owning outcomes

  • Interest in stepping into a technical leadership role over time

Why Join:

  • Shape the tech direction and build from the ground up

  • Collaborate closely with the founder on product execution

Signs this is not for you:

  • You hate the idea of a fast-moving environment where things might break.
  • You aren't interested in rolling up your sleeves and testing new ideas and gather a feedback on the fly.
