Job Level

About the role

  • Own Product Delivery End-to-End: Partner with Product and Design from discovery through delivery. Translate product vision into engineering plans, set priorities, and drive execution with a bias toward shipping.
  • Lead & Grow a Team: Manage a team of full-stack and backend engineers. Run 1:1s, give direct feedback, support career growth, and build a culture of ownership and accountability.
  • Shape the Product: Be a strong voice in what we build, not just how. Challenge product requirements, advocate for the user, identify gaps, and push for simplicity and impact.
  • Drive Technical Quality: Set engineering standards for your team. Participate in design reviews, ensure architectural decisions hold up, and keep the codebase healthy.
  • Ship with Urgency: Remove blockers, cut scope ruthlessly when needed, and keep the team focused on outcomes over output. You care about what's in production, not what's in the backlog.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and Infrastructure to coordinate across the organization and ensure your team has what it needs.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of full-stack development experience
  • 2+ years of engineering management or tech lead experience with direct reports
  • Strong TypeScript/JavaScript and React skills
  • Backend experience with Node.js, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and RESTful API design
  • Cloud deployment experience (AWS preferred) with Docker and CI/CD
  • Deep product empathy — you think in terms of user problems, not just technical problems
  • Strong product instinct — you can articulate why something should or shouldn't be built
  • Bias toward action — you'd rather ship and iterate than plan endlessly
  • Experience recruiting, interviewing, and growing engineers
Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Basic Life, 401(k), and more
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Tools you need to get the job done
  • Competitive salary and potential equity-based remuneration
