System Design: Build for clarity and trust, ensuring families are never confused about eligibility or fund status. Operational Integration: Tightly link the UI with backend and ops workflows to create a reliable payments machine with clean audit trails. Data-Driven Growth: Instrument funnels and "confusion hotspots" to turn user behavior data into product improvements. Setting Standards: Establish the architecture, code quality, and release processes for the app layer. To be successful in this founding role, you must meet the following criteria: Relocation/Presence: You are willing to relocate to San Francisco, CA or Phoenix, AZ and work in-person with the team. Proven Shipping Velocity: you have a history of shipping apps constantly to production, including personal side projects. Technical Detail: You take pride in refining design and architecture to improve the user experience. Product Intuition: You have a strong "taste" for intuitive AI and pay close attention to the psychology of features. Collaborative Nature: You are willing to get "out of localhost" to engage in family visits and collaborate with government agencies. High Standards: You have high expectations for yourself and a deep commitment to the quality of your work. Significant Equity: This is a high-commitment founding role with significant equity compensation. Visa Support: The company can provide support for those who do not currently have a visa. High Autonomy: You will be given the autonomy to find the best path forward and solve customer problems. Travel: Opportunities to travel to visit customers and stakeholders. Elite Peer Group: Work directly with a team of high-achievers, including former heads of risk at Stripe and Mercury. INDEQL
