SQL depth: Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL (complex queries and optimization).
Proof of work: You must have a portfolio of shipped work (GitHub, live app, or video demo).
Independence: You can architect systems and make technical decisions without hand-holding.
Presence: You must be in SF or ready to relocate immediately.
Responsibilities:
Building robust full-stack systems from zero.
Modernizing legacy industrial infrastructure via modern software.
Owning high-value supply chain features end-to-end.
* Shipping fast in an ambiguous, high-accountability environment.

1. Initial Call: Chat with me (Hubert) to see if we're a match.
2. Tech Screening: Deep dive into your technical skills.
3. Founder Call: Quick sync with the founder.
4. On-site: We fly you out to SF HQ for an in-person session (expenses covered).
