Dynama is an AI‑native broker for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands. We prospect, qualify, and land brands’ products on new retailers’ shelves through a technology‑driven approach so lean CPG teams grow faster and spend less.
About the role
We’re hiring a Founding Software Engineer. This is a high‑ownership role: you’ll work directly with the founders to bring the product to life and scale it for customers.
Responsibilities
- Own entire systems end to end: scoping, building, testing, deploying, and operating them in production.
- Design and ship agent‑driven workflows that surface insights and draft real actions across new account prospecting, pricing, trade promotion, retailer coordination, etc.
- Help define the roadmap by deeply understanding what customers actually need.
- Write clear, scalable, and performant code across the full stack while maintaining excellent test coverage.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience as a full‑stack developer who has built and shipped complex products end to end, and can hit the ground running.
- High‑energy, opinionated, and fun to work with.
- Strong product taste and judgment about what to build and what to skip.
- Operate well with little explicit direction and figure out answers to ambiguous, complex problems independently.
- Prioritize outcomes over perfection.
- Align with core values of integrity and excellence.
Skills
- Full‑stack application development and scalable system design.
- Modern frontend JavaScript frameworks, Python or similar languages, and Linux command‑line tools.
- Relational databases, ORMs, database architecture and modeling.
- Data modeling, ETL, and normalizing messy real‑world data into clean schemas.
- API design and integrations with third‑party systems (ERPs, commerce platforms, retailer tools).
- Building and debugging non‑deterministic systems — LLM and agent workflows, with attention to observability, evaluation, and reliability.
