Engineering Leader (US)
Freehand, San Francisco
The role
You will be Freehand's first engineering leader in the US. You will set the bar, the culture and the charter for every US engineer who joins after you, working as a close partner to our CTO and alongside our engineering team in India. There are two aspects to this role:
- You stand up US engineering – charter, hiring, operating rhythm — and act as the CTO's counterpart on the US side, while staying close enough to the work to make the hard technical calls.
- You own core product areas end to end, build and ship it yourself, and lead a small, high-caliber team around it.
Either way, this is not a management-only seat. You will own core, revenue-driving product that customers pay for, and you will build with AI every day.
What you will do
