• Partner with product, design, data, and leadership teams to translate complex or ambiguous challenges into a clear, data-informed roadmap with measurable outcomes.

• Promote AI-first engineering practices by using AI agents for planning, coding, code review, and issue triage while critically evaluating their outputs.

• Develop shared tools and practices that improve engineering productivity and help the wider team work more effectively.

• Design and oversee A/B tests and experimentation initiatives to validate improvements in activation, retention, and community health.

• Recruit, mentor, and develop engineering talent, supporting performance management and career progression within the team.

• Establish clear priorities, maintain high technical standards, and help engineers deliver meaningful product and business impact.

• At least 7 years of experience building and shipping production software for complex web applications.

• Previous experience leading or managing engineering teams, including setting technical direction, overseeing major initiatives, reviewing work, and developing other engineers.

• Strong hands-on software engineering capabilities, with experience in Ruby on Rails, MySQL or PostgreSQL, ReactJS, and TypeScript.

• A strong product mindset and the ability to understand customer needs, challenge requirements constructively, and make independent decisions aligned with SaaS best practices.

• Proven expertise in at least one of the following areas:

  • Data and analytics infrastructure, such as ClickHouse, data warehousing, or business intelligence.

  • Growth and lifecycle product engineering, including onboarding, activation, and retention.

• Exposure to both analytics infrastructure and growth engineering is a strong advantage.

• Experience working closely with cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, product, design, and go-to-market teams.

• Ability to navigate ambiguous, fast-moving environments and translate insights into clear priorities and actionable technical plans.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, at CEFR C2 level or equivalent, particularly for effective asynchronous collaboration.

• Alignment with a high-ownership, collaborative, and quality-focused engineering culture.

Nice to have:
