What dynama does

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.

• You operate well with little explicit direction and figure out answers to ambiguous, complex problems independently
• You prioritize outcomes over perfection
• You align with our core values of integrity and excellence

Strong Fundamentals In

• Full-stack application development and scalable system design
• Ability to work with modern frontend Javascript frameworks, Python or other similar languages, and Linux command line tools
• Experience using relational databases and ORMs as well as 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
