You'd be someone we'd love to collaborate with if you :

• You have at least 7 years of coding experience (back-end / full stack) and you want to keep coding at least half of your time!
• You have at least one significant prior experience managing a full-stack engineering squad (2-3 years).
• You demonstrate strong leadership to guide your team, backed by extensive technical expertise for coaching and a pragmatic mindset for identifying clear, effective solutions.
• You’re comfortable being hands-on in a full-stack context, through code and design document review or code contributions outside of the team’s critical path.
• You’re product-minded: not content with executing on pre-defined tasks and roadmap, you’re directly in touch with business challenges and customer pains, and use this to inform your focuses, prioritization calls, and the direction you provide your team.
