Responsibilities
- Take a spec that's still warm and make the architecture calls that let it ship in ninety days. Choose boring technology on purpose. The innovation budget is spent on the product, not the stack.
- Build the whole thing. Frontend, backend, data, deployment. Integrate BitGo's custody, wallet, stablecoin, and settlement rails where the product needs them, and third-party vendors where buying beats building.
- Use AI as a force multiplier, not a party trick. The three-month clock only works if you're the kind of engineer who gets 5x output from these tools and knows exactly when not to trust them.
- Ship to real users, instrument everything, and keep shipping. Launch day is the midpoint, not the finish line.
- Then hand off, wind down, or double down. When a product graduates or dies, you start the next one with everything you learned.
Requirements
- Someone who has built a product from nothing. Startup, side project, or the first engineer on a true zero-to-one team. You've made the tradeoffs that only matter when there's no one else to make them.
- Someone genuinely full-stack, 5+ years deep. Modern web frontend, API and service design, data modeling, cloud deployment. You don't need to be world-class at every layer. You need to be dangerous at all of them.
- Someone who has made AI part of how they work. Not "I've tried Copilot." Your daily throughput would be visibly impossible without these tools, and you have strong opinions about where they fail.
- Someone comfortable with crypto, or unafraid of getting there fast. You don't need protocol-level expertise. Wallets, stablecoins, and settlement will be APIs you consume. Curiosity is required, maximalism is not.
- Someone who ships over polishes. You know the difference between the corners you can cut and the ones that cut back. Security and money-handling are the ones that cut back.
- Someone who can throw away their own code. When a product gets killed, the code goes with it. Take the learning, keep the reusable parts, start the next one without a mourning period.
