Lead

About the role

  • Lead and develop 30+ engineers organized across: Backend Engineering, Full Stack Engineering, Data Engineering, Infrastructure and DevOps, QA and Architecture
  • Grow engineering leads into accountable, autonomous owners with strong technical judgment
  • Build a culture of product engineering — where engineers own outcomes, operate with high autonomy, and are accountable to users and business results, not delivery processes.
  • Build a high-trust, async-first operating culture across a fully distributed, Ukraine-based team
  • Partner with Product, Data Science, Design, and Commercial leadership as a full peer in executive discussions
  • Communicate engineering strategy and status clearly to the CPTO, CEO, and board when required
  • Proactively surface risks, decisions, and opportunities across the organization.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in engineering leadership, with meaningful time at the VP level or equivalent scope
  • Experience at a product-led company, with a track record of owning outcomes across the full software lifecycle
  • Experience leading and developing distributed engineering teams within a global organization
  • Familiarity with the operational realities of multi-product platforms: shared infrastructure, competing priorities, and the tradeoffs that come with scale, including the legacy systems that are part of any platform that has been in production for years
  • Demonstrated experience shipping products where AI or agentic systems are in the critical path
  • A clear point of view on how to design products around AI capabilities responsibly and effectively
  • Ability to prototype and build directly, and to use that work to lead the team technically
  • Business-level written and spoken English is required.
