Job description

You own core product development, working directly with the CEO. No PM layer, no ticket queue, no translation loss between a customer conversation and what gets built.

The platform exists and it works. Your job is to own it, extend it, and build the mechanics the company compounds on.

What you'd own

• Onboarding and activation. The path a new brand takes from signup to getting value, and making it shorter.
• The attorney-facing legal module. The workflows franchise counsel work in, on documents that carry legal consequence.
• The multi-tenant data model. Row-level security across parties who are each entitled to a different slice of the same document.
• The instrumentation. Activation, time-to-value and conversion.
• Production. Root cause through fix.

What we're looking for

• Several years shipping production SaaS end to end. You've owned features from database to UI to deploy, not one layer of someone else's stack.
• Full-stack range across Next.js and Supabase — frontend, backend, data model, auth.
• Active, current fluency with Claude Code or a comparable agentic tool. Not enthusiasm — judgment. We'll ask you to walk through a real feature you shipped that way, including where the tools failed you.
• A bias toward shipping small and fast over designing for scale we don't have yet.

Helpful, not required

• Early-stage experience as one of the first engineers on a team.
• Compliance-adjacent engineering. We're working toward SOC 2 and you'll help get us there.
• Interest in vertical SaaS or regulated-industry software.

Compensation:

$140,000 – $160,000 base, plus meaningful equity
