Description

  • Lead engineers across multiple products and codebases by breaking down work and driving delivery of high-quality, performant solutions.
  • Own technical direction and standards, with a strong focus on automated testing, observability, and operational excellence.
  • Review code hands-on and make pragmatic decisions about risks, technical debt, and architecture tradeoffs.
  • Triaging and resolving support tickets, including both short-term fixes and deeper root-cause solutions.
  • Partner with Product and Design to prioritize the most valuable problems and define the simplest viable solutions.
  • Deliver functionality that is immediately useful, then guide iterative improvements to expand customer value over time.
  • Communicate scope, tradeoffs, timelines, and expectations clearly to stakeholders.
  • Present and document significant architectural changes to engineering leaders and communicate performance impacts.
  • Lead sprint planning, daily technical discussions, and other delivery rituals with Product and Design leads.

  • Track record of shipping production software that customers actively use.
  • Strong product and customer intuition, with the ability to translate business needs into technical decisions.
  • Comfortable making tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scalability.
  • Clear communication skills for aligning engineers, product managers, designers, and other stakeholders.
  • Preferred: experience in a hands-on, execution-focused technical leadership role.
  • Preferred: ability to work in a role that is not responsible for people management, performance reviews, or regular 1:1s.

Benefits

  • Flexible, supportive, and remote-friendly work environment.
  • Values-driven culture with a focus on inclusion and collaboration.
  • Opportunity to work on a product used by more than 5 million units on the platform.
