Own the technical roadmap and make sure every engineering effort maps directly to business impact. No features for features’ sake.
Lead and grow an engineering team that ships fast, iterates constantly, and treats complexity as a cost.
Tackle the hard, multi-layered problem: automated vetting, intelligent matching at scale, demand-side bottlenecks. And figure out where the real leverage is.
Make hard prioritization calls. Decide what we build, what we skip, and what we kill.
Work directly with the founder and product team to define what success looks like before writing a single line of code.
Build the engineering culture: high ownership, high speed, low bureaucracy.

Required
Product-minded, business-first
Obsessed with simplicity
First principles thinker
Fast. Bias toward action
You’ve led engineering teams (5–30+ people) at a startup or high-growth company.
You’ve worked in a distributed, async-first team.
Profitable and growing. No fundraising pressure, real business fundamentals.
A pivotal moment: you’re not maintaining an engine, you’re building one. The product roadmap is wide open.
Direct access to the founder. No layers. Your decisions ship.
A massive, unsolved problem: hiring is still broken. We’re building the product that makes it radically faster for companies to find qualified engineers.
A team of 60 people who move fast, care deeply, and have survived the hard years together.
