You will be involved early, when problems and signals are still forming.\r\nYour work will include\r\nShaping products from the beginning. Define what should be built, what should wait, and what can be cut before time is wasted.\r\nBuilding from zero and shipping fast. Take concepts through prototype to product in users' hands, often in days, not months.\r\nSeeing work in the wild immediately. You will ship features that are used right away rather than tiny pieces of a giant system.\r\nMaking foundational technical decisions. Choose tools, architecture, and trade-offs for the stage without inheriting someone else's stack.\r\nWorking close to the truth. Learn directly from users, test assumptions, and adjust quickly.\r\nBuilding across the full product reality. Consider usefulness, usability, differentiation, and economics.\r\nOperating at a pace that keeps things fun. Small teams, minimal process, daily meaningful progress.\r\nHelping shape ventures, not just software.

Built something from scratch far enough to make product, technical, and speed-versus-quality trade-offs in the real world.\r\nProduct-builder mindset.

Progress without all variables resolved, create clarity while building.\r\nStrong technical judgment. Make sound architectural and tooling decisions appropriate for the stage.\r\nModern web product experience. Design and ship full-stack applications with TypeScript, React, Node.js.\r\nAI-native product experience. Work with foundation-model APIs, prompt engineering, RAG, tool calling, agent workflows, and evaluate trade-offs.\r\nVoracious learning and sharp judgment.
