Move pricing and business logic into backend services to protect financial accuracy.
Extend typed pricing data models and establish testing, observability, deployment, and performance practices.
Lead architectural discussions, investigate production issues, mentor teammates, and improve engineering practices.

Strong backend experience with Python, FastAPI, and MongoDB or comparable technologies, plus experience designing server-side business logic and versioned APIs.
Hands-on React and TypeScript skills, including the ability to independently deliver a polished user interface.
A track record of turning ambiguous customer needs into shipped products, including customer discovery, data modeling, and end-to-end delivery.

Interest or experience in B2B SaaS monetization, including pricing, packaging, quoting, billing, or CPQ.
Strong attention to correctness, particularly in financial logic, and US work authorization without visa sponsorship.
