You will work closely with product, design, and our forward deployed engineers.

What you'll do

Manage and grow a team of engineers, owning onboarding, feedback, and career development.

Help establish engineering best practices
Work directly with customers. Our users are systems and requirements engineers at hardware companies with a high bar
Partner with recruiting to build the team
Help set direction on how AI shows up in the product, working with engineers building agentic workflows and LLM-powered features.

About you

8+ years developing production software, including designing, testing, and operating services at scale in a cloud environment.
2+ years managing engineers, ideally at an early-stage company or somewhere with little existing process scaffolding.
Track record shipping software that enterprise customers depend on, with a clear understanding of what that changes about how you build.
Still hands on with coding
Direct communicator who is able to give difficult feedback
Comfortable working in a high-ownership, fast-paced environment where experiments and iteration are the norm.

Nice to have

Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, or another regulated hardware domain.
Experience with requirements, ALM, PLM, or systems engineering tooling.
Experience managing teams building LLM-powered or agentic features in production.

Our stack

TypeScript/Node.js and Python for backend and AI services.

Postgres and other managed cloud services for data and state.
