WHO YOU ARE
You've built and shipped software at a high level before. You have strong product sense–you notice details, you have opinions about how things should work, and you can mentor other engineers through code review and technical guidance.
You're drawn to work that compounds. On the team side: you'd rather spend an extra half-hour building something reusable than copy-paste your way to done. You think about how decisions today affect velocity next month. On the product side: our foundations stack on each other–better transcription means better AI outcomes, which means better search and automations.
And when the product gets noticeably better, people tell their friends–that's how we grow.
