What You'll Do

  • Ship. Architecture, code review, and the hardest features — this is the bulk of the job.
  • Own delivery without trading away quality, stability, or security.
  • Help hire, onboard, and grow the engineering team as it scales.
  • Shape how engineering runs: planning cadence, review, standards.
  • Make AI-first development work — coding agents, evals, and the guardrails that keep speed from costing quality or security.

Who We're Looking For

Someone from a high-growth startup who's helped scale a product and a team through a period of real growth, and wants to do it again with funding behind them. You ship with AI as a core part of how you work, and you've hired and grown engineers before.
