ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Senior or Principal Engineer to join us in building the future of market experimentation. This isn’t just about writing great code, it’s about owning systems, adopting the latest in AI tooling, shaping architecture, and driving product impact at speed.

What You’ll Do

  • Code across the full stack, from infrastructure to frontend.
  • Architect systems that are fast, scalable, and a delight to build on.
  • Collaborate closely with your fellow engineers, founders, product, design, and data to ship features that drive customer impact.
  • Push forward technical standards, tooling, and best practices.
  • Mentor and support other engineers as we grow the team.
  • Be a core contributor to company strategy from a technical lens.

What We’re Looking For

  • Builder’s Mindset: You care about elegant code and real-world impact. You ship fast and improve fast.
  • Full-Stack Fluency: Deep experience with modern web stacks, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Our stack includes: Next.js, Vercel, MongoDB, Google Vertex, OpenAI, and more.
  • Architect-Level Thinking: You’ve built systems from the ground up, and you know how to scale them.
  • Startup Energy: Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and wearing multiple hats.
  • Product Instincts: You think in outcomes, not tickets. You want to shape what we build, not just how we build it.
  • Team Player: You elevate those around you. You give feedback, mentor well, and collaborate with humility.

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • High Ownership: You’ll be at the heart of technical decisions and have full scope to shape the codebase and the culture.
  • Career Growth: Whether you want to lead engineering or go deeper as an IC, we’ll help you get there.
  • Tangible Impact: Your work will directly power the way global companies make smarter product and go-to-market decisions.
  • Fast-Paced Environment: You’ll work on exciting challenges, ship fast, and iterate with real feedback.
  • Great People: We’re ambitious, kind, and obsessed with building something that matters.
