Team Leadership (20%)
- Mentor engineers and support their technical and professional growth.
- Lead Agile ceremonies and ensure on-time, high-quality project delivery.
- Align engineering efforts with broader business and product goals.
- Foster a collaborative, transparent, and high-performing team culture.
SJILLS
Experience & Background
- 7-12 years of experience in hands-on software engineering roles.
- Strong background in scalable distributed systems and SaaS environments.
- Previous experience mentoring or leading small engineering teams.
Technical Skills
- Proficient in Ruby, Python, or TypeScript (one or more).
- Deep experience with data pipelines and large-scale data processing.
- Advocates for engineering best practices, including testing and code quality.
You Might Be a Fit If You…
- Obsess over uptime, performance, and developer-friendly tools.
- Can balance trade-offs between shipping fast and building right.
- Communicate clearly and lead by example.
- Are the engineer everyone wants on their project.
This is your chance to make a lasting impact at a startup where engineering drives the mission. If you love building great systems and even better teams-let’s talk.
