We’re looking for a hunter—a lead engineer who shows up hungry, owns every challenge, and turns Figma files into lightning-fast, beautiful experiences without breaking a sweat. If you’re the type who takes initiative before anyone asks, thrives in the chaos, and refuses to ship anything less than exceptional—you’re exactly who we want.
