Nothing is sacred except the compelling desire to build innovative and beautiful software that is a joy to use, not a burden.

• Review and approve technical designs and key architectural decisions
• Ensure code quality through reviews, standards, and engineering best practices
• Ensure efficient CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
• Contribute to engineering strategy and roadmap planning
• Identify opportunities for innovation and technical improvements

Key Responsibilities:

• 7+ years of software development experience, with 4+ years in a management role
• Strong background in modern software development practices and methodologies
• Experience managing Agile teams and delivering complex software projects, ideally including teams that have changed their own process based on what they learned
• Strong leadership and people management skills
• Solid technical foundation in software architecture and development
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management
• Experience with cost management on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and modern development tools
• Hands‑on experience integrating AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar) into a production engineering workflow, with a view on what they're good at and what they're not
