Job Description

What You'll Do: Build the product end-to-end — from database schema and API design to frontend UI and deployment infrastructure. Make architectural decisions — choose the tech stack, set up CI/CD, monitoring, and dev environments. Ship iteratively — get working software in front of users fast, then improve based on real feedback. Set engineering standards — establish coding conventions, code review practices, and a culture of quality. Influence product direction — work directly with the CEO on what to build, what to cut, and how to prioritize. Own the infrastructure — provision cloud resources, manage deployments, and keep the app running in production. Who You Are: 3–8 years of software engineering experience, preferably in early-stage startups or with significant side-project shipping. Full-stack capable — comfortable across frontend, backend, databases, and infrastructure. Ship-focused — 80% today beats 100% next month. Pragmatic tradeoffs between speed and quality. Independent — thrive without a playbook. Figure things out, communicate clearly. High ownership, low ego — care about the mission and the team, not about who gets credit. Product-sensible — good judgment about what users need and what can wait. Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity (2–5% range) How to Apply: Send a note to the CEO with what excites you about early-stage building, a link to something you have built (GitHub, portfolio, side project), and why Acme specifically. No formal resume required.
