Help independent operators achieve financial clarity and generational resilience.

Responsibilities

What you will do

  • Manage the full employee lifecycle for 4-5 engineers, focusing on hiring senior ICs, coaching, and career development as the team scales.
  • Partner with Product and Design leadership to influence the roadmap, balancing technical debt with the delivery of high-impact full-stack features.
  • Champion engineering excellence by establishing project management hygiene and guiding the team through complex architectural trade-offs in a TypeScript and React environment.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • Proven leadership experience with 2-5+ years in engineering management at high-growth startups (Series A-D) and a strong background as a high-performing IC.
  • Technically sophisticated and AI-native, with the ability to reason about how LLMs and modern tooling are fundamentally changing the software development lifecycle.
  • Exceptional people-first instincts, focusing on solving organizational challenges through mentorship and culture before moving to technical implementation.

What makes it remarkable

Why this role is remarkable

  • Direct real-world impact: Build tools that help family-run businesses and independent operators become profitable and climate-resilient, rather than shipping products for faceless enterprises.
  • Elite backing and leadership: Join a Series A team funded by Thrive Capital and Homebrew, reporting to a Head of Engineering who scaled orgs at Twitter and Chainalysis.
  • AI-Native culture: Help define the future of engineering management by pragmatically integrating AI tools into the development workflow to solve complex, messy real-world data problems.
