About the role
Who you are
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading teams (including people management and technical leadership)
- Experience scaling engineering organizations at a fast-growing startup or tech company
- Strong judgment on tradeoffs, architecture, and tooling; favoring supported, stable technologies over trends for their own sake
- Proven ability to deliver large, complex projects while keeping teams unblocked and motivated
- Deep familiarity with backend systems, distributed architecture, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Postgres; Node.js/TypeScript experience a plus)
- A track record of building diverse, high-performing teams and fostering an inclusive, feedback-rich culture
- Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels; comfortable jumping into code reviews one moment and board-level discussions the next
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an Engineering Leader to grow and inspire our engineering organization
- This role combines technical leadership with company-building impact
- You’ll guide our engineering strategy, scale the team, and ensure we’re delivering systems that are robust, reliable, and delightful for our customers
- Your ability to learn quickly (about the product, business, and technology) is your superpower
- You’re motivated by growth and learning, but you also bring the experience to help others accelerate theirs
- You’re equally comfortable setting technical direction as you are creating the organizational structure, processes, and culture that enable a team to thrive
- You’ll be the bridge between engineering, product, design, and other stakeholders- keeping us ahead of the roadmap while balancing execution, scalability, and long-term strategy
- And while you won’t hesitate to dive into technical details when needed, you’ll also step back to keep the broader picture in focus
- Beyond engineering, you’ll play a central role in shaping the company itself: recruiting top talent, building an inclusive and high-performance culture, and scaling the systems and processes that will power our next stage of growth
- Define and execute engineering strategy: Align technical direction with business goals, balancing velocity with quality and scalability
- Build and scale the team: Recruit, retain, and mentor world-class engineers and managers, while fostering career growth and leadership development
- Drive execution at scale: Ensure timely delivery of complex, high-impact projects across the stack, with a focus on backend systems and infrastructure
- Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to shape the roadmap and deliver on company priorities
- Champion engineering excellence: Establish standards for architecture, observability, performance, and operational excellence
- Foster culture: Create a psychologically safe environment where teams can innovate, take ownership, and do their best work
- Company-building: Contribute to hiring practices, onboarding, organizational design, and other initiatives that support our growth as a startup
Benefits
- Full coverage health, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited paid time off and paid holidays
- 401(k) self contribution program
- Stipend to make your workspace shine
