How We Build 

• We co-innovate with customers and practitioners by default - understanding, learning and working together with practitioners to solve real problems. 

• We build with AI - fast, iterative, and grounded in real usage. 

• We care about outcomes: the goal is to produce what gets adopted and used. 

What You'll Bring 

• Experience Depth. 8+ years of software engineering experience, including direct technical leadership of a team. 

• Proven Team Leadership. A track record of leading engineering teams to real, delivered outcomes. 

• Customer-Facing Ownership. Experience working directly with customers to resolve ambiguity and shape strategic direction. 

• Cross-Functional Influence. Comfortable operating with senior stakeholders across the org, not just within engineering. 

• Technical Credibility. Still hands-on — leads the team through technical depth, not around it. 

• Business Acumen. Thinks like an owner of the business — looks for ways to grow it and run it more efficiently, with customer value as the constant measure.

• Strong intellectual curiosity and comfort thriving in ambiguity 

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (i.e., Claude Code, Codex, or similar) 

• Comfortable partnering directly with enterprise customers — running technical discovery and translating findings into production-ready specs 

• Brings a "you build it, you run it" mindset — plans, codes, tests, deploys, operates, and continuously improves what you build 

• Experience reviewing architecture, technology choices, and design decisions, and helping teammates grow 

• Track record of building automated quality enforcement — gates, structural tests, accountability models — that scale without relying on individual discipline 

• Comfortable prototyping quickly across frontend, backend, APIs, and agent-based systems, using rapid PoCs to drive product decisions
