• Experience building tools and processes that make our team faster.
• Experience with enterprise SaaS, B2B platforms, or customer-facing production systems.

• Experience with on-call, incident response, or support rotation for a production system.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with stakeholders.
• Product-minded approach: we care about user problems, not just technical implementation.
• High sense of ownership in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
• Motivation to work in a startup within a scale-up, with small-team, high-impact, enterprise-grade work.
• Desirable: experience working with automotive, mobility, robotics, or autonomy partners.

• Triage and resolve production issues, whether reported by customers or detected through internal monitoring.
