The Role:
- We're looking for a Head of Engineering who can own our technical direction, build the team to execute it, and personally write the most complex code in our platform.
- Today, you'll lead a team of about 5-10 engineers. Over the next 12-14 months, you'll grow that to 25+. But in the early months, you'll spend a significant portion of your time coding-especially the intricate pieces: our ontology layer, agentic AI frameworks, and the integration logic that connects to messy real-world systems.
- l;This is a player-coach role. You'll be in the codebase daily, shipping features alongside your team, while also hiring, mentoring, and setting technical direction. As the team scales, the balance shifts-but we need someone who wants to be hands-on, not someone counting the days until they can stop coding.
What You'll Do?
Write Critical Code:
- Build the most technically complex pieces of our platform: ontology models, agentic AI systems
- Set the technical bar by shipping production code, not just reviewing it Lead the Technical Vision
- Design our platform architecture with an eye toward scale-but ship what works today
- Make pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, quality, and technical debt
- Unblock hard problems by diving in, not delegating
Build and Scale the Team:
- Hire, onboard, and develop engineers across frontend, backend, data, and AI/ML
- Define roles, levels, and career paths as the team grows
- Create a culture where smart people ship great work
