About the job
This is not your conventional Head of Engineering position. We are in search of a highly experienced leader who excels in dynamic, high-ownership environments. Your objective: to assemble the swiftest engineering team imaginable.
About You:
As a former founder or a technical operator in early-stage companies, you possess a strong track record of leadership in rapidly evolving startups or scale-ups. You are adept at making timely decisions, even when they are less than perfect. You thrive under pressure and understand that momentum is more important than perfection.
You could be:
A seasoned engineer who has transitioned into an Engineering Leader role at a venture-backed startup.
An ex-founder who understands the urgency of delivering results when resources are limited and stakes are high.
A practical builder who prioritizes speed and value over rigid methodologies.
Your Ideal Qualifications:
Leadership in Engineering: You have a proven ability to coach and support engineers in fast-paced, high-pressure settings.
Robust Technical Knowledge: Your strong instincts in architecture and security enable you to simplify complexity while ensuring consistent delivery.
Startup Mentality: You have successfully launched products in 0→1 or high-growth environments, where speed and ownership are critical.
Focus on Velocity: You believe that iteration is more valuable than perfection, always aiming to deliver value to users promptly.
AI Enthusiast: You are passionate about AI, integrating it into your daily coding practices, and constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency through AI-driven workflows.
Developer Experience Advocate: You are committed to improving developer experience, recognizing that excellent tools lead to increased speed.
Execution-Focused: You understand that monitoring, observability, and performance are essential for delivering quickly while maintaining trust.
Your Responsibilities
Establish benchmarks for engineering speed by coaching, mentoring, and removing obstacles for the team, working closely with our CTO and co-founder.
Make swift architectural and security decisions, weighing speed against long-term sustainability.
Develop and take ownership of exceptional developer experiences.
