As our Head of Engineering, you'll be a hands-on technical leader who stays deeply connected to the codebase while guiding architectural decisions that directly impact our team's daily work. You'll help us shape our AI and backend systems, frontend experiences, and cloud infrastructure through both strategic vision and tactical execution.
Hands-On Technical Leadership: Maintain active involvement in the codebase through code reviews, architectural prototypes, and stepping in to tackle complex technical challenges. Team Enablement & Mentorship: Lead by example, mentoring engineers through pair programming, technical discussions, and collaborative problem-solving. Remove technical blockers, provide clear technical direction, and help the team level up their skills through hands-on guidance.
Engineering Excellence: 7+ years of hands-on software engineering with significant recent coding experience, plus 3+ years leading engineering teams while remaining technically engaged.
~ Active coding skills in our stack: Node.js backend, React frontend, with the ability to contribute production-ready code when needed.
~ Deep cloud architecture experience (AWS preferred) with hands-on infrastructure-as-code implementation (Terraform).
~ Excellent technical communication - ability to write clear ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), technical specs, and documentation that developers actually use.
~ Fluent in written and spoken English.
Benefits
Competitive salary with equity participation (VSOP)
Best-in-class development hardware and software
Flat hierarchy where technical merit drives decisions
If you're looking for a purely management position without hands-on technical work, this isn't the right fit.
