Key Responsibilities:
1. Rapid Solution Building (Vibe Coding)
High-Velocity Deployment: Lead the speed-to-market for new solutions. Use your fundamental programming knowledge to guide AI tools in building functional MVPs in record time.
Business-Driven Development: Work with the Head of Product to translate business signals into tangible, live products.
Full Lifecycle Ownership: Manage prototypes from initial concept and AI-assisted drafting to deployment and initial testing.
2. Technical Quality & AI Integration
AI-Assisted Craftsmanship: Use your programming background to ensure that "vibe-coded" solutions are not just fast, but architecturally sound.
Best Practice Maintenance: Intentionally maintain standards for code structure, documentation, and API integration so prototypes can be easily scaled by core engineering teams.
AI Integration: Integrate cloud-based AI services (e.g., Vertex AI, Firebase ML Kit) to create intelligent workflow automations.
API Connectivity: Work with existing platform APIs to ensure robust data consumption and authentication for all new prototypes.
Must-Haves:
Fundamental Programming Experience: 2–3 years of experience in software development with a solid grasp of logic, data structures, and modern web technologies (JavaScript, HTML, CSS).
AI Tool Proficiency: Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Replit) to accelerate development cycles.
Rapid Development Tools: Proficiency in Firebase, Retool, FlutterFlow, or similar platforms that enable quick prototyping.
API Savvy: Practical experience working with and integrating RESTful APIs.
The "Vibe" Mindset: A commitment to the "test fast, fail fast" philosophy and the ability to iterate quickly based on feedback.
Nice-to-Haves:
Familiarity with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem.
Experience transitioning an MVP into a production-hardened environment.
Understanding of the automotive or e-commerce classifieds industry.
