CS Degree required but you don’t need to be a full-time active developer, but you need to: - Read, interpret, debug, and improve code. - Understand code architecture and contribute meaningfully. - You can “vibe code” — meaning, you understand what’s going on and can make improvements without needing hand-holding. - You’re excited to go deep on Databricks: uploading data, building apps, managing pipelines, writing notebooks, all of it. - You’re good working on a team of 3–4 people, doing whatever is needed — whether it’s data alignment, business ops, product testing, or customer interviews. - You like working on something that actually helps people and has real-world impact. Bonus Experience with early-stage startups Exposure to housing, construction, or inspection industries Good storytelling skills (especially around product dev or UX) Pay - Hourly to begin, amount tbd on background & fit - Equity tbd depending on fit Location: Bay Area (some remote work is fine but mostly onsite) To apply, send us a quick note: who you are, what you’re into, and why this spoke to you.
