• Deep knowledge of AI coding tools and workflows - you use them daily and know how to get the most out of them

Optional Skills

• Experience with Cloudflare platform (Workers, etc.)

• Experience with background job workflows
• Built an AI agent before

Interview Process

• Screening Call (Technical/Cultural Fit)
• Live Coding / Technical Project: Evaluating CS fundamentals and architectural depth (algorithms, system design)
• Final Deep Dive (System Design & Partnership)
• After passing the interviews, there's a one-month paid trial period. It's intense - we'll work closely together on real features to make sure we work well together.

Do Not Apply If

• You are looking for passive, hands-off remote work with minimal team interaction
• Uncertainty makes you uncomfortable - you prefer detailed specs over figuring things out as you go
• You are unwilling to prioritize customer needs over your preferred patterns or tools
