Skills

• Experience: 5+ years of experience, with no upper cap. Looking for mid-level to senior candidates.
• Profile: Seeking someone with strong product instincts, who wants to own product direction, and has experience taking projects from "zero to one" or completion. Candidates who have considered being a product manager are a good fit.
• Tech Stack: Full-stack role, approximately 350% front-end and 50% back-end.
• Backend: Python, Java, Node are preferred. C and C# are not ideal.
• Frontend: Typescript and React framework experience is ideal.
• Company Background: Slight preference for candidates from startups, but big tech (FAANG) is acceptable if they have user-facing product experience (e.g., Instagram or Amazon UI team), not deep backend systems (e.g., AWS Dynamo) or big data. Not a good fit for candidates from banks or mega-companies or those doing low-level programming.
