Salary

💰 $250,000 - $300,000 per year

About the role

  • Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
  • Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
  • Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
  • Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
  • Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
  • Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
  • Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft
  • Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things

Requirements

  • Track record of having successfully led product-focused engineering teams in high-performing organizations that shipped real impact
  • You've written code at a high level, and you still love to get your hands dirty. You view leadership as an amplifier, not a step back
  • Bias for action and scrappiness: You don’t over-optimize for process. You optimize for velocity, customer value, and learning
  • You deeply care about the developer experience. You think about UX, APIs, performance, edge cases, and joy
  • You ask "why" obsessively, and you push yourself (and your team) to learn constantly
  • You build trust, give direct feedback, and create space for engineers to thrive
  • You have experience partnering with internal recruiting teams to drive effective and fair hiring processes. You realize that recruiting is a large (and important!) part of your role. A track record of recruiting, hiring, and mentoring top engineering talent.
Benefits
  • Competitive pay
  • Substantial equity grants
  • Healthcare insurance (Medical, Dental and Vision) for you and your family
  • 401k matching
  • Wellness and fitness monthly allowances
  • PTO + paid holidays + unlimited sick leave
  • Autonomy and flexibility with remote work
