Raise the floor on reliability and velocity: tests, code review, and CI/CD practices that hold up as the team grows — including how we fold AI coding tools into that loop
Act as a technical resource for the team — unblock others, weigh in on architecture, and keep context moving across time zones
What you bring
Strong TypeScript and Python, and the judgment to know when to reach for each
Solid React experience — you can build clean, functional UIs without a dedicated frontend team carrying you
Proficiency with relational databases: data modeling, migrations, and query performance under real load. We use PostgreSQL
Experience building data pipelines end to end — ingestion, transformation, and delivery to downstream consumers. We use event streaming, but experience with any comparable system transfers
Experience shipping LLM-backed features to production: retrieval, embeddings, and the evaluation loop that keeps quality honest. You understand the hard part is uncertainty, evidence, and recovery — not the API call
Comfortable operating containerized services in a major cloud with infrastructure defined as code. We run on GCP and AWS
A track record of owning features from zero to production, and of retiring old systems without breaking things downstream
Strong written communication and a high tolerance for autonomy — remote-first means writing well and staying aligned without being chased
Nice to have
Event-driven architectures and Kafka-based data platforms
Evaluation and observability for LLM features — you've had to answer "is this actually working?" with data
MCP or other tool surfaces that let agents act on production systems safely
Identity and auth systems (Keycloak or similar)
Search infrastructure (OpenSearch or similar)
Next.js and Material UI
Financial or investment data — venture capital, startup portfolio management
Prior work at an accelerator, investment firm, or high-growth startup
