Partner with product leadership to design and execute the product roadmap while determining the long-term technical architecture of the business.
Maintain a hybrid role, contributing directly to the codebase while managing the engineering organization.
Build the technology that facilitates a high volume of content production and supports diverse monetization streams, including licensing and subscriptions.
Manage and evolve our AI-assisted code development and progressive agentic development orchestration.
Establish engineering processes (sprints, code reviews, deployments) and eventually hire and mentor a team of 3-10 engineers.
Act as a bridge between the technical team and non-technical stakeholders, earning trust through clear communication and reliable shipping cycles.
Ensure sustainable engineering velocity by systematically managing technical debt and making disciplined tradeoffs between speed and structural soundness.
Foster a strong, accountable engineering culture in a remote-first, distributed environment—creating clarity, trust, and ownership within the team while sustaining tight, collaborative relationships across functions.

5+ years of experience leading engineering teams, preferably in a 0→1 environment.
Demonstrated technical breadth with the judgment to select and apply the right language for the right problem (e.g., Go for orchestration, Python for data/ML).
Proven experience integrating AI/ML into production systems, specifically leveraging multi-agent AI orchestration.
Familiarity with audio/video processing pipelines and media distribution (RSS, CDNs, platform APIs).
A "nothing is beneath me" attitude with the ability to manage ambiguity and move significantly faster than traditional production cycles.
Deep expertise in building automation systems at scale, with a clear understanding of systemic risk and the judgment to design and implement appropriate safeguards, monitoring, and fail-safes.
Actively track and evaluate the rapidly evolving agentic coding landscape, integrating relevant tools and practices to continuously improve engineering leverage, quality, and speed.
Proven ability to build and sustain a high-trust, high-accountability engineering culture in a remote-first, distributed environment, while maintaining strong cross-functional alignment.
