Required Experience
Candidates should have:
  • 6+ years of backend/software engineering experience.
  • At least 2 years in a high-growth, venture-backed startup, ideally during a pre-Series A through Series B+ scaling stage.
  • Experience owning and delivering significant technical projects end-to-end.
  • Strong experience designing and scaling production backend systems.
  • Experience working in dynamic environments where requirements and priorities change quickly.
  • Evidence of stable career progression and meaningful technical ownership.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain both technical and business decisions clearly.

  • Rapid growth
  • Ambiguous requirements
  • Changing priorities
  • Limited resources
