Directly manage, coach, and grow a team of high-performing engineers. You will conduct impactful 1:1s, guide career development, and ensure your team feels valued and recognized.
Bring exceptional organizational skills to our engineering operations. You will identify bottlenecks, improve documentation standards (like PRDs), and create clear, lightweight processes that speed us up rather than slow us down.
Actively monitor team workloads to ensure we are delivering high-quality work sustainably, guarding against burnout and maintaining healthy boundaries.
Act as a bridge between Engineering, Product, Design, Data, Care, and more. You will ensure context is shared transparently and that decisions don't get lost in silos.
Encourage your team to experiment with AI and new tooling to solve complex problems more efficiently. Advocate for time to be invested into Engineer-led initiatives that may not be part of the core product roadmaps.

4–5+ years of direct engineering management experience, ideally leading teams through a period of rapid growth in a series B or C startup.
You have thrived in a scaling startup environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and building the airplane while flying it.
You are a systems thinker. You naturally look for ways to centralize information, clean up messy workflows, and make executing work easier for everyone around you. You are diligent at tracking the ongoing work across the org and obsess over making sure stakeholders are aware of status and timelines.
You have a strong background in software engineering. While you won't be coding every day, you possess the technical chops to guide architectural decisions, push back when necessary, and earn the respect of your team.
You care deeply about the humans building the product. You know how to cultivate psychological safety and foster a culture of open, honest feedback in service of personal and professional growth.
