We are not hiring for this role yet. We read every application, and we may contact you when the role opens.

Build our platform end to end, so each new customer needs less engineering than the last. We are turning custom customer work into one product, configured per customer, on one core platform. You build that product, from the data layer to the screen that buyers and traders use.

What you'll do

  • End to End: Take features from the data layer to the interface, and own all of it
  • Build to Generalize: Write code that works past a single customer
  • Ship on Cadence: Ship on the cadence that the product team sets
  • Speak Up: Say so when work would only ever serve one customer
  • Learn the Business: Understand pricing and trading, because buyers and traders use what you build
  • Our Stack: Python (FastAPI), TypeScript (Next.js), Postgres

What you will have delivered

  1. Day 30Something small shipped to production
  2. Day 90One feature owned end to end: data, logic, interface
  3. Month 12A part of the system picked up with no hand holding

How we will measure it

  • Features reaching production on cadenceFails when work falls behind cadence
  • Work that generalizes past one customer: allFails when capacity goes to work only one customer uses
  • Pull requests that need a second person to fix: near zeroFails when rework is routine

Required

  • Shipped production systems end to end, in more than one programming language
  • Write the least code that solves the task
  • Work without a specification, a manager or a ticket
  • Ask when stuck, and do not guess for two days

Preferred

  • Taught yourself a second paradigm because a problem asked for it
  • Worked at a company with fewer than twenty people
  • Any exposure to pricing, trading, logistics or manufacturing

Not the role for you if

  • You want a defined lane
  • You have only worked in one language or framework
  • You rely on code review to catch your mistakes
