Who We're Looking For

We want someone who can lead the engineering organization without stepping away from engineering.
You should be equally comfortable discussing company-level technology strategy, designing architecture, mentoring senior engineers, reviewing code, and using AI tools to prototype and ship new ideas.
We're not looking for a manager who used to code. We're looking for an engineering leader who still builds.
Compensation & Location

## Description

We're looking for a hands-on VP of Engineering who can lead the engineering organization and technical strategy while remaining deeply connected to the technology.
This is not a management-only position. You'll own engineering across web, mobile, backend, DevOps/infrastructure, architecture, and AI, while helping the company continue to build and scale its engineering organization.
The core technology environment includes Golang, TypeScript, and GCP.
What You'll Do

 * Own the overall engineering strategy and technical roadmap
 * Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team
 * Own architecture across web, mobile, backend, infrastructure, and AI
 * Remain hands-on with architecture, prototyping, code reviews, and complex technical problems
 * Build and scale systems primarily using Golang, TypeScript, and GCP
 * Establish strong engineering standards and development practices
 * Drive the adoption of AI-assisted software development across the organization
 * Leverage tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and other AI development tools to increase engineering velocity
 * Partner closely with Product and executive leadership
 * Balance speed of execution with scalability, reliability, security, and engineering quality
