• Hire and mentor senior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and informal coaching.
• Dive deep into the code, especially in high-stakes systems (distributed systems, high-throughput APIs, low-latency pipelines).
• Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies that can create meaningful leverage.
• Brainstorm with the executive team on new initiatives from a software perspective.

REQUIREMENTS

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2+ years in a principal role.
• Proven ability to drive complex technical projects from 0 to production.
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, data platforms, backend APIs, cloud infrastructure.
• Strong architectural skills and a pragmatic approach to design tradeoffs.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and aligning cross-team stakeholders.
• Empathetic leadership and the ability to build trust across teams.
• Proficiency in Python, AWS Lambda, MongoDB, ML/AI — but more importantly, fluency in core engineering principles.
• Highly motivated and detail-oriented with a proven track record navigating a fast-paced environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.

In your first 6–12 months, success looks like:
