Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end features that define how the greatest teams build and iterate upon their products.
- Architect and ship the foundational systems powering our proprietary data pipeline and interfaces.
- Operate at the intersection of the impossible and the inevitable.
- Depth over breadth – You'll go deeper into problems than most think necessary, finding elegance where others accept complexity.
- Craft at velocity – Ship exceptional work quickly without compromising on quality that matters. Both form and function, never just one or the other.
- "High Standards Win" – Question everything, rebuild from scratch when needed, never accept "that's how it's done" or "good enough."
- Ownership without borders – Your domain is whatever needs doing to make Interfere exceptional. No excuses.
Requirements

- APIs and integrations that meet developers where they are.
- The foundation of a platform that will handle billions of events.
- Immense pride in the work you do and a desire to build the best products on earth.
- Builders with taste – You know the difference between good and great, and you can't sleep until you've achieved the latter.
- Systems thinkers – You see patterns others miss.
- Relentless learners – You dive into unfamiliar domains and emerge with either expertise or a delusional drive to acquire it.
- Clear communicators – Complex ideas become seem obvious when they find their way into your hands.
- Domain experts – True fluency & expertise in Next.js, TypeScript, and modern JS development tooling.
- Experience with developer tools, observability platforms, or infrastructure.
- Deep knowledge of TypeScript/Node.js, React, or distributed systems.
