Requirements

• Experience leading the technical side of product development.
• Experience designing and building web, cloud, or data platforms.
• A record of owning technical decisions for a team.
• Willingness to remain hands‑on with coding.

Nice to have

• Experience with generative AI or large language models.
• Experience taking a startup product from an early concept to launch.
