About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own the engineering team - run all 1:1s, manage performance, unblock engineers, and drive accountability across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Stabilize and scale core infrastructure - identify and resolve critical gaps in our existing systems, establish engineering standards, and build toward a resilient, production-grade architecture.
  • Drive delivery - translate product and business priorities into clear engineering roadmaps, sprint structures, and shipping cadences.
  • Coordinate with the Head of AI - ensure smooth integration between the AI pipeline and the broader platform infrastructure, from data ingestion to API delivery.
  • Build engineering culture - introduce the right processes (code review, incident response, documentation, testing) without creating bureaucracy.
  • Hire and grow the team - own recruiting, onboarding, and team composition decisions in close alignment with the CTO.
  • Represent engineering in leadership discussions - bridge the gap between technical reality and business expectations.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 7-12 years in software engineering, with 3+ years in an engineering leadership role owning a team directly (not just tech lead).
  • Proven track record managing and growing small-to-mid-size engineering teams in a fast-moving startup environment.
  • Strong full-stack understanding: backend systems, frontend delivery, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and API design.
  • Experience inheriting and stabilizing broken or scaling infrastructure - not just greenfield builds.
  • Excellent people manager: you do 1:1s properly, give direct feedback, and create clarity in ambiguous environments.
  • Strong communicator upward (founders/CTO) and downward (engineers) - you translate between vision and execution fluently.
  • Highly structured and process-oriented, but pragmatic - you ship, then you improve.
  • Entrepreneurial by nature: you build, you own, you drive.
  • Bonus: familiarity with data-heavy platforms, analytics infrastructure, or financial/fintech products.
  • Bonus: exposure to blockchain or Web3 infrastructure.

Benefits

Comp & perks
