About the Role

Join an early-stage engineering team building software for enterprise headcount planning. You will own product areas from technical design through production, working closely with the founding team and customers to shape the product.

What You'll Do
  • Design, build, ship, and iterate on product features while balancing speed and quality.

  • Proficiency in Type Script and the ability to learn new stacks quickly; experience with GCP or MongoDB is relevant.

  • Hands-on experience designing low-latency systems and working with transport or streaming technologies.

  • Strong systems design, data modeling, and computer science fundamentals; a degree in computer science or engineering is preferred.

  • Experience at a venture-backed startup, as a founder or founding engineer, or owning zero-to-one projects in a larger organization.

  • Product and user empathy, including an ability to consider how users work with data.

  • Experience in B2B software, particularly HR or finance, is valuable.

  • Comfort working in a small team, collaborating with customers and cross-functional partners, and taking initiative on projects beyond the planned roadmap.
