Responsibilities

• Build a unified admin panel that lets a non-technical customer team fix accounts end to end in one click
• Own the plumbing that carries the whole company from point of sale into Circle
• Move work from to-do to done with clean hygiene and no one chasing you
• Own your own QA and ship through peer-reviewed pull requests, never work thrown over a wall
• Say "I don't think this is fully thought through, let's talk it through" before you write a line of code
• Set down yesterday's work for today's when priorities shift, without getting precious about it
• Customer Service Admin Suite (Primary) • The unified admin panel that lets Customer Service take a client end to end: one-click account, billing, and login fixes across one tool instead of five. This is the highest-leverage surface you will build, and what it can do keeps expanding
• Member Experience (Ongoing) • The Circle member experience (login, billing, account management, lead flows) and the plumbing that connects our commerce stack to it, running smoothly end to end
• Affiliate System (Ongoing) • Maintain, extend, and improve the affiliate system that drives growth
• Own your work all the way to production: validate it yourself, walk a reviewer through your test cases, and ship through peer review
• Keep clean progress and surface blockers early

Skills

• 4 to 6 years building production full stack applications inside a professional engineering team with code review
• Front-end: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, iframes
• Backend: Node, Express, MySQL, Redis
• Cloud and hosting: Heroku and GCP
• Collaborative problem solving: you think fast with the team and pressure-test the plan before building, no rogue players
• Real AI fluency: you use AI as a craftsman's tool and make sure what it produces actually works
• US citizens and green card holders only. No visa sponsorship
• AI coding tools used well (Claude Code, Cursor), with the judgment to verify and own the output
• N8n or workflow automation experience
• Based in Scottsdale or Greater Phoenix (on-site preferred)
• 1 to 2 prior roles of roughly two years each, ownership. No job hopping
