Enjoy schema design and iterating on queries until you get it right
Value focus time with No Meeting Wednesdays and a lightweight meeting schedule that doesn't get in the way of focus time

It's Important To Us That You Have

Experience optimizing database performance through efficient schema design, query optimization, and indexing strategies
Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities, ideally at an early stage start up

Experience balancing short-term deliverables with making long-term investments for efficiency, scale, and performance

It Would Be Great if You Had

Experience with Rust
Previous work in high transaction services like message queue systems or billing systems
Proven skills with frontend technologies like React, Typescript, or Elm
Prior experience with voice technology and AI-driven applications
