Build and sustain a high-performing, remote-first engineering culture grounded in our core values, with a strong emphasis on ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Translate product vision and roadmap into executable engineering plans with clear milestones and trade-off decisions.

Provide technical oversight and strategic direction for the company’s data warehouse, including schema design and ETL/ELT pipelines.
