Makeship
Senior Software Engineer + Staff Engineer (Systems & Integrations) | Toronto, Canada
hn · Toronto, Canada
Jose is a proven founding engineer and full-stack architect with deep expertise in Python, TypeScript, Next.js, and infrastructure—directly matching both open roles' technical requirements. His experience shipping production systems at scale (real-time voice platform, developer platforms at Twilio, 8M-user crypto wallet) and leading small technical teams demonstrates the seniority and systems thinking needed for Senior and Staff roles. Primary gaps are Go experience (core platform role requires it) and no demonstrated background with e-commerce/creator platforms or integrations-heavy systems like Shopify/HubSpot workflows.
Hook: Your founding engineer background building real-time systems end-to-end and leading technical decisions aligns perfectly with Makeship's need for a senior full-stack architect who can own complex platform features and systems integrations.
Missing: Go programming language, Shopify/e-commerce platform integrations, HubSpot/Airtable API integration experience, Creator economy or influencer platform domain knowledge
