Qualifications

• Experience managing engineers or engineering leads who ship consumer products, ideally in chat, calling, or social apps.
• Strong product sense: you can tell a good feature from a busy one.
• Intuition for distributed and local‑first systems. Offline‑first and eventual consistency should feel natural. You don't need P2P protocol expertise, because our core abstracts it away.
• Deep JavaScript and React.
• Initiative, curiosity, resilience, and the ability to give and receive direct critique.
• Bonus: experience with local‑first apps, CRDTs or sync engines, offline‑capable mobile or desktop apps, or open source.

Responsibilities

• Engineering: Run the API and frontend teams day to day: unblocking, reviewing, and keeping them shipping.
• Set and hold a high engineering bar for performance, reliability, and clean APIs.
• Own the technical design of features and the API surface between Keet's core and the app.
• Make sure the API team works closely with our deep tech teams on code reviews, design, and anything that touches the engine.
• Product Partnership: Work alongside Keet's product managers to turn vision and roadmap into scoped, buildable work.
• Push back when scope and reality don't match, and propose better paths when they exist.
• Bring an engineering perspective to product decisions, especially where P2P opens doors that centralized apps can't.
• Help the team move fast, using AI tools and quick prototypes to validate ideas before committing to them.
• Leadership: Create clarity around team goals and make sure everyone knows what success looks like.
• Mentor team leads to build strong team operating systems, improve how their teams work with others, and grow as leaders.
• Lead by example: roll up your sleeves when the team needs it, and step back when they're ready to own it.
