Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction of the Signals platform — architecture, system design, tech debt strategy, and engineering standards
- Lead a team of engineers and QA — set priorities, unblock work, conduct code reviews, and drive execution
- Stay hands-on: you're writing code, shipping features, and debugging production issues alongside your team
- Work directly with product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into a technical roadmap
- Make the calls on build vs. buy, tradeoffs between speed and quality, and when to invest in infrastructure vs. features
- Own production reliability — you're the first person who cares when something breaks, and you drive the team to fix it fast and prevent it from happening again
- Raise the bar for the engineering team through mentorship, tooling improvements, and establishing best practices
- Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier for yourself and your team — and push the team to adopt AI-native workflows that accelerate output
Requirements
- You have 6+ years of hands-on software development experience with at least 2 years in a technical leadership role — leading teams, making architecture decisions, and owning delivery
- You have shipped and maintained customer-facing SaaS products — you understand what it takes to build software that real users depend on
- You have strong system design instincts — you know how to architect systems, define clean interfaces, and make decisions that hold up as complexity grows
- You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
- You have an AI-native workflow — you don't just use AI tools, you've fundamentally changed how you and your team work because of them
- You can context-switch between writing code, unblocking a teammate, and presenting a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder — all in the same day
- You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
- You lead by example — your team follows your standard because they see you hold yourself to it first
- You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline
Benefits
- Flexible work hours, flexible vacation, a generous 401K match, parental leave, team events, wellness budget, learning reimbursement, and more
