• Full-stack web application experience, with backend-leaning product engineering depth
• Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, and modern web application architecture
• Experience with Python or demonstrated ability to work effectively in Python-based systems
• Experience designing APIs, service boundaries, reusable application patterns, and production backend systems
• Ability to write high-quality, maintainable code with strong instincts for testing, readability, observability, and operational ownership
• Strong technical communication skills, including design docs, architecture discussions, and tradeoff analysis
• Collaborative leadership style with the ability to challenge product direction constructively and mentor engineers without condescension
• Bias toward customer value over technology for technology’s sake

Desirable

• Build full-stack customer experiences using TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, and related technologies
• Partner with Product to shape ambiguous ideas into useful customer workflows, challenge low-value requirements, and offer practical alternatives
• Turn data science prototypes, analytics concepts, and platform capabilities into production-grade product experiences
• Bring strong software engineering practices into a data-heavy team through technical design, code review, mentoring, testing, and delivery patterns
• Help data engineers take on more software engineering work across frontend, backend, APIs, product decomposition, and production readiness
• Collaborate across Built where data products integrate with application surfaces, platform capabilities, agents, or customer workflows
• Use customer signals, usage data, product feedback, support issues, and discovery learnings to guide engineering decisions
