We're at an inflection point. For two years a small, senior team has built and shipped the core platform without a formal engineering manager — and it worked. But as we hire more engineers, we need someone to set the bar, own the process, and make sure the team gets better as it grows. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll stay close to the code and the architecture while you formalize our standards, run hiring, and keep us shipping reliable software every week. You'll report directly to the founder and own engineering as a function. At six months, the benchmark is a team that ships faster and breaks things less than before you joined.
