Responsibilities

• Build and maintain full-stack web and mobile-friendly applications, including React-based front ends and their supporting data layers.
• Design and maintain Airtable bases (schema, automations, interfaces, and data quality) that back internal and client-facing tools.
• Build workflow automations in n8n and Zapier that connect the CRM, forms, databases, and other services.
• Integrate third-party and AI services (for example, LLM APIs such as Anthropic's Claude) into applications and workflows where they add value.
• Test, debug, and optimize applications for performance, reliability, and usability.
• Collaborate with leadership, the Tech Project Manager, and external vendors to scope work and ship in tight, disciplined cycles.

• Demonstrated experience shipping full-stack web and application projects, including a modern JavaScript framework (React preferred).
• Strong front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and experience building responsive, user-friendly interfaces.
• Strong experience using Airtable as an application backend (linked records, automations, interfaces).
• Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n and/or Zapier) and integrating third-party APIs.
• Hands-on experience integrating AI or LLM services (for example, Anthropic's Claude) into applications.
• Familiarity with Claude Code (Anthropic's agentic coding tool), or a willingness to adopt it to ship quickly.
• Comfort operating as a sole or near-sole engineer: self-directed, and disciplined about scope and documentation.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
