• Own end-to-end product slices of Horizon—from customer problem to wireframe to production service, including the user-facing UI/UX. You define what "done" means and you're accountable for it. • Partner directly with the CEO, VP of Product, and early customers to turn field signal into working software at pace. • Shape technical direction and architectural decisions for Horizon. Mentor product engineers on your team on systems thinking, reliability patterns, and shipping discipline. • Develop deep product knowledge of the AI/LLM tooling space, MCP ecosystem, and how Horizon fits into emerging patterns. Stay sharp on market trends and help us position ourselves accordingly. • Establish and refine our approach to operational excellence: sustainable on-call practices, incident response patterns, observability standards that scale. • Participate in on-call/incident response and set the standard for how we handle production issues.

• Perform tasks related to the development, deployment and monitoring of systems, assessing received functional and non-functional requirements to develop or maintain system features, monitoring deployments and performance, and applying software development best practices. • Develop and maintain web applications using Java and modern frameworks. • Design and integrate APIs for communication between systems. • Ensure application security and performance. • Collaborate with designers and analysts to define technical requirements. • Follow the software development best practices adopted by the company. • Participate in code reviews and ensure software quality. • Implement automated tests to ensure system stability. • Keep up with technology trends and propose improvements. • Work in a team using agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable server-side applications using Node.js and dynamic front-end interfaces using React • Architect and implement robust RESTful APIs and microservices • Partner with product managers, designers, and talent teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions • Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and reliability • Implement advanced security measures and data protection protocols • Mentor junior engineers, lead code reviews, and enforce best practices • Proactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical issues • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and containerization

• Design, architect, and deliver Kubernetes-based, highly available on-premise deployments, including control plane services, telemetry pipelines, appliance-style distributions, and fully air-gapped environments. • Own the architecture and evolution of the on-prem operational management console and supporting tools, with a strong focus on reliability, usability, and lifecycle management. • Architect multi-stage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and supporting DevOps tooling to produce repeatable, secure, and auditable on-prem releases. • Help write and maintain high-quality code for internal tooling, automation, management APIs, and extensibility mechanisms. • Define and enforce software versioning, upgrade paths, and structured release processes suitable for enterprise and regulated environments. • Produce and maintain clear, opinionated documentation and deployment standards that enable customers to self-manage confidently. • Partner directly with Customer Success and, when needed, customers to diagnose and resolve complex deployment, upgrade, and operational issues. • Coordinate with Product Management and peer engineering teams to align release timelines, manage cross-team dependencies, and reduce integration risk. • Build internal tooling and APIs that enable upstream teams to validate compatibility and integration before changes land in on-prem releases. • Develop secure internal systems for Customer Success to manage licensing, credentials, and artifact distribution across customer environments.
