## Description

You'll have significant agency over the full product lifecycle, engineering decisions, and internal stakeholder relationships supporting a rapidly scaling platform.

You'll be responsible for:

 * Owning the full development lifecycle: discovery, build, ship, debug in production, and live iteration
 * Exercising strong product judgment to translate internal stakeholder feedback into clear build decisions without waiting for specs
 * Partnering closely with internal teams (customer success, compliance, ops) to gather requirements, run working sessions, and drive scope independently
 * Synthesizing lessons and patterns across portfolio companies so wins at one firm scale into the shared platform
 * Working directly with leadership on both immediate engineering needs and long-term platform strategy
 * Navigating data sensitivity and regulatory constraints (PII, SOC 2, financial compliance frameworks) as a normal part of shipping
