Grow and develop the team
You'll own hiring end to end – sourcing, closing, and holding a high bar. Startup hiring is not passive; we expect you to bring your network and know how to sell the mission to engineers who have options. Once people are here, you'll invest in their growth: understanding what motivates each person, giving clear feedback, and helping them develop into their best.
Own delivery
You'll create clarity on priorities and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll build the right level of process for where we are - structured enough to execute, light enough to move - and evolve it as we scale. You'll own delivery across workstreams, balance short-term output with long-term technical health, and be a credible technical voice who can mentor engineers on architecture, craft, and production readiness.
Lead the company, not just engineering
You'll be opinionated about the business, push back on strategy when you see something others don't, and think proactively about how the org needs to evolve. You'll anticipate what the team needs to look like in six months, make the call on what role to hire next, and communicate proactively across the company.
