• Build reliable integrations with commerce and advertising platforms, as well as orchestration tools.

• Mentor a founding engineer while contributing hands-on to daily engineering work.

What We're Looking For

• Experience building and owning production agentic or LLM-powered systems that integrate with third-party APIs.

• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, with the ability to prioritize across varied work and add structure in ambiguous situations.

• Familiarity with Python, TypeScript, LLMs, and commerce or marketing integrations such as Shopify, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, or email service providers.
