  .
• The 

  product is already 80% built

   on 

  Java

   and the tech stack listed below.
• This is a 

  full-time individual contributor (IC) role

   — not a team management position, as we are still in the early stages of growth.
• Candidates with a 

  strong AI/ML background

   combined with product management experience will be preferred.
• The ideal candidate is a 

  Full Stack Developer

  , primarily 

  strong in backend development

  Java, MySQL-based architectures, React, TypeScript,

  it’s a builder’s role
