* Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision-making to ensure a clean, stable, and maintainable codebase.

* Ideally 1+ year at a venture-backed startup (pre Series B)

* Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, LLMs, and cloud-based data pipelines
* Able to work on-site in a hybrid environment (4 days/wk in NYC, Union Square)
* Authorized to work in the U.S.

## Compensation & Benefits

* Salary bands: $130-200K (includes mid level and senior bands; candidates with higher YOE may be considered for principal level)
* Competitive equity package
* Fully covered health insurance and competitive stipend to cover dental, co-pays etc (ICHRA)
* 401(k)
* Flexible PTO that we actually take (encouraged minimum of 15 days)
* Lunch provided in office Mon-Thurs
