Core Development (60%)

Design and ship scalable features from concept to production
Use Claude, Copilot, and coding agents to prototype and iterate 10x faster
Write production-quality code (not just AI-generated drafts—you validate, refactor, optimize)
Own full-stack ownership: APIs, databases, services, integrations
Review code for correctness, performance, and maintainability
Architecture & Technical Strategy (25%)

Make architectural decisions based on speed, cost, and reliability tradeoffs
Define API design, database schemas, integration patterns
Know when to use: PostgreSQL vs
