🏢 Summary: End-to-end software engineering role focused on building and shipping high-quality product features across frontend and backend in a fast-moving, autonomous team. The position emphasizes pixel-perfect UI/UX, strong architectural thinking, and full ownership from design to deployment. Engineers operate with high trust and direct impact on a learning and research-focused product. 🗂️ Requirements: Expert-level software engineering experience, Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Experience with SvelteKit for frontend development, Experience with Node.js for backend development, Experience with Fastify, Experience with PostgreSQL, Experience with DDD patterns, Experience with CQRS patterns, Experience with Playwright for testing, Ability to build pixel-perfect UI implementations, Ability to design and ship end-to-end features across frontend and backend, Experience working with queues, Basic proficiency in Python for ML components 📃 Skills: TypeScript, SvelteKit, Tailwind, DaisyUI, Playwright, Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Python, DDD, CQRS, Queues 🏢 Description: ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an expert software engineer with an exceptional eye for UI/UX to join a small, high-trust engineering team. You'll own features end-to-end — from pixel-perfect frontend work to shipping backend functionality when needed. This is not a siloed role. You'll move fast, make real decisions, and have direct impact on a product used by people who care deeply about learning and research. We don't have managers. We have engineers who own their work. TECH STACK The stack is heavily TypeScript. On the frontend: SvelteKit, Tailwind, DaisyUI, and Playwright, with DDD and CQRS patterns. On the backend: Node.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, and queues. ML components are in Python. The stack is pragmatic, not dogmatic — tools may shift as the product evolves. WHAT WE LOOK FOR Elite communication You set accurate expectations and live up to them. No surprises, no ambiguity about status or blockers. Deep resilience Bugs, crises, tough reviews — you have a large buffer before stress impacts your output. You don't crack under pressure. No ego We're here to build something great, not to manage insecurities. The best idea wins, regardless of who had it. Product mastery You understand the engineering principles behind the best software ever made — and care deeply about the difference between good and great. Independent and obsessive by nature You go deep on everything you touch. You're a lifelong learner who can't help but care about quality. Being an ex-founder is a bonus. ENGINEERING CULTURE Optional code reviews We trust you. Merge when you're ready. Ask for a second pair of eyes when you want one. Radical autonomy We don't second-guess your decisions. You own the call. High-bandwidth collaboration Constant communication means everyone has context without formal gates or status meetings. Direct feedback Code reviews are blunt, concise, and respectful. We say what we mean. Ruthless efficiency We aggressively adopt any tool — AI included — that increases speed and leverage. Limited frontend test coverage Supplemented by strong architecture and top talent, not bureaucratic QA processes. RECRUITMENT PROCESS Recruiter screening — a short intro call to align on basics. 1-on-1 with the engineering lead — a conversation about how you think and work. Technical challenge (~4 hours) — use AI, Google, or any resource you need. We care about the result, not the method. One-month paid contract — with the possibility to extend indefinitely. Honest, frequent feedback throughout so you always know where you stand. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary $100,000 – $150,000 depending on experience. Equity and profit share Core team members receive both equity and profit share as part of the compensation package. Unlimited PTO Use your own judgement — we won't count days. Steep learning curve You'll grow faster here than almost anywhere else — by design, not accident. Real ownership No managers capping your authority. You own your work end-to-end, with the full trust of the team behind you.
