Job Description
Role Overview
We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who builds real products end-to-end — not someone who waits for tickets.
You will work closely with the product team and founder to turn ideas into working features quickly. This role owns the full loop of product development: architecture, implementation, iteration, and performance.
If you enjoy shipping fast, solving real user problems, and improving systems continuously, this role is for you.
