  • Experience building and scaling customer-facing web applications (ideally in TypeScript, Node.js, React, Firestore/MongoDB)
  • Strong technical judgment and a proven ability to make architecture and prioritization tradeoffs
  • A builder’s mindset—you care about velocity, product quality, and enabling your team to move fast
  • Excellent communicator who thrives in a cross-functional, fast-paced startup environment
  • Passion for wellness, startups, or empowering small business owners is a plus
