• Proficiency in JavaScript (Node.js), PHP (Laravel), with a focus on clean, efficient code.
• Expertise in serverless architecture, performance optimization, and scalability.
• Proven ability to take ownership of the product and lead development from concept to execution.

• Generous Equity Options: A meaningful ownership stake is available for the right candidate.
• Creative Freedom: Your ideas and contributions will have a direct impact, and you can choose to work from wherever you are in the world.
