Requirements

  • 10+ years in software engineering with 5+ years in engineering leadership, including 2+ years managing managers across multiple teams.
  • Technical depth in at least two of: distributed systems, backend or mobile frameworks, platform engineering, reliability engineering - credible enough to make hard hiring decisions and engage in architecture reviews.
  • Track record of owning platform or infrastructure-focused teams at a growth-stage B2B SaaS company, with demonstrated impact on engineering velocity.
  • AI-forward: you set direction for teams building on LLMs and agentic workflows, and you hold your org to an AI-native standard.
