Tech Stack

About the role

  • Manage a team of elite engineers
  • Report to the cofounder/CTO
  • Set direction and run the engineering operating cadence
  • Read code, debug production issues
  • Make architectural calls
  • Establish AI-native development practices on the team
  • Organize ownership across the three-pillar stack

Requirements

  • Real technical depth in cloud infrastructure, data systems, or ML platforms. You can review architecture, debug production, and make tradeoffs — not just delegate them.
  • You have inherited or built a small team before and made it better. You set expectations, build ownership, and coach people up.
  • You can operate without a clean roadmap. You turn ambiguity into a plan with owners and timelines.
  • You care about production quality. Observability, incident response, release discipline. You build the habits, not just the systems.
  • You have strong opinions about how agentic coding tools change what a small team can build. You are actively shaping how your team works with AI — and you have the judgment to know where it helps and where it introduces new failure modes.
  • You are pulled by the mission. AI infrastructure is being built on a foundation that was not designed for it. Verdigris is the layer that makes it trustworthy. That framing should feel meaningful to you, not just interesting.
Benefits
  • Professional development opportunities
