- Ability to guide, review, and validate AI-generated code, not just generate it
- Strong intuition for when and how to rely on AI vs. manual implementation

Mindset & Ownership:
- Comfortable operating as the sole engineer on a product
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make architectural decisions independently
- Eagerness to learn new technologies quickly (especially in AI/voice space)
- Pragmatic and product-focused—able to balance speed with quality
Qualifications
- Strong experience with Ruby on Rails (5+ years preferred)
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for the application

- CloudFormation (or infrastructure-as-code equivalents)
- Load balancers, networking, and scaling patterns
- Experience designing and maintaining production-grade systems
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with voice AI platforms or conversational UX
