Job Description

Responsibilities Our first automation system was built for speed, not scale. Today, its a web of tightly coupled business logic and database access that makes changes risky and failures hard to debug. You will drive the evolution of our automation systems into a robust, faulttolerant framework that can handle external interface changes gracefully and scale across dozens of new categories with minimal manual intervention. Phase 1: Dive deep into the codebase and learn both the technical and business sides of our core product. Lead incremental refactoring of existing automation systems, designing and implementing new standards and pairing with engineers to ensure the new system is predictable and testable. Phase 2: As the architecture stabilizes, shift towards using an AIfirst approach to build internal tools that will enable growth from 5M to 50M users. Qualifications A Player/Coach: You have founded a company or served as a lead architect at an earlystage startup. You are a builder at heart and enjoy working alongside your team. A Detective: You obsess over success rates, hunt edge cases in complex business logic, and dont stop until you understand why a script failed. A Systems Thinker: You set a high bar for system design, especially for offline, asynchronous jobs, and require strict standards for decoupling, state management, and retry logic. Technology Stack TypeScript (Nest.js, React), GraphQL, AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda). Benefits We offer a comprehensive benefits package to regular employees, including health, dental, and vision coverage; paid time off; paid parental leave; a 401(k) plan with employer matching; and wellness benefits, among others. Equity opportunities may also be part of your total rewards package. Parttime, contract, or freelance roles may not be eligible for certain benefits.
