  • Debug production issues using the latest tooling.
  • Help set the direction of the small but growing engineering team.

About you

AI-First, Data-Grounded. You know that great AI products are built on great data. You don't treat the platform as a prerequisite, you treat it as a weapon.

Technically Credible. You've built models that ran in production. You've debugged a pipeline at 11pm. You can evaluate your team's work, not just manage it.

Builder and Operator. You can design from scratch and scale what's already working. You know which mode you're in and you shift between them.

Low Ego, High Impact. You care more about the outcome than the credit. You've hired people better than you in their domains and gotten out of their way.

Strong Opinions, Weakly Held. You bring a clear point of view to architecture decisions and update it fast when the data says otherwise.

Team First. You win through the team. You hire people better than you in their domains and get out of their way.
