Head of Engineering

Fig Technology Inc.; San Francisco (CA); Híbrido; USD 260.000 - 330.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Fig Technology Inc. is seeking a Head of Engineering to lead the platform team that powers every deployment. You will own the architecture, drive the weekly roadmap, and hire and grow engineers while maintaining a hands-on coding role.

Based in San Francisco, you will manage production reliability, cost, and model performance, coordinating with founders to keep the team small and focused on delivering value to customers.

Formación

• Ten or more years building production software, with at least three leading an engineering team under fifteen people.
• Has designed a system deployed into many customer environments and lived with the consequences.
• Has shipped LLM systems to real users and has strong, tested opinions on agents, evals and model routing.
• Still codes, wants to, and can show it.
• Direct with the founders, generous with the team, and clear in writing.

Responsabilidades

• Own the architecture of the platform: what is a platform feature, what stays a deployment-specific piece, and when field-built work gets pulled into the product.
• Run the roadmap with the Head of Deployment: a ranked list of what breaks in the field, and a weekly release that fixes it.
• Hire and grow the platform engineers, and keep the team small enough that everyone knows the whole system.
• Write code. Take the hardest lane yourself when nobody else can, and review everything that ships.
• Own production: reliability, cost, model performance, and the on-call rotation you are part of.

# Head of EngineeringYou will write code every week and own the platform every customer runs on. Both, or neither works.Apply for this role## The roleA team of generalists builds the platform that every Fig deployment runs on: the agent runtime and evals, the connector framework, the tooling that stands a customer environment up in hours, security and identity, and the product surface customers see. You lead it, and you build in it.The job is to keep a small team shipping a platform that survives real customer environments while the field discovers new ones every month. That means architecture decisions that hold, a roadmap driven by what deployments actually need, and a hiring bar that keeps the team small on purpose.## What you'll do* Own the architecture of the platform: what is a platform feature, what stays a deployment-specific piece, and when field-built work gets pulled into the product.* Run the roadmap with the Head of Deployment: a ranked list of what breaks in the field, and a weekly release that fixes it.* Hire and grow the platform engineers, and keep the team small enough that everyone knows the whole system.* Write code.
