Responsibilities for the Role Include:
- Build and ship across the full stack: Shopify app, storefront widget, AI extraction pipeline, internal tooling
- Harden a live Shopify app and storefront integration across OS 2.0 and legacy theme realities with safe rollouts and easy rollback
- Extend the mobile web creator upload flow with Mux: QR → prompt → record/upload → consent → submit
- Turn raw buyer video into structured product evidence at scale: AI extraction, review/approve/publish, and self-serve tooling
What Success Looks Like:
- Onboarding new customers becomes boring and repeatable
- Founder minutes per merchant drops materially because workflows are productized
- We can scale customers without bespoke engineering per store
Required Qualifications Include:
- You've shipped to production across the stack and you close loops fast — you design, build, debug, and operate
- Strong fundamentals: performance, reliability, security, and product/UX judgment (especially on conversion-sensitive surfaces)
- AI-native builder: you ship production code with agentic tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, similar).
- You use AI for speed, keep quality high with tests/CI/observability, and can debug when AI output is wrong
- Thrive in ambiguity and a very small-team environment.
- You're excited to learn new tools and domains fast, and you jump into whatever needs doing
Nice to Have Skills Include:
- Shopify apps/theme integration experience, or embedded widget/SDK experience in hostile third-party environments
- Video pipeline familiarity (Mux or similar)
- Experimentation/analytics rigor: clean event design, integrity checks, debugging
