Full Job Description
The Role:
The companies we own are profitable and their engineering teams are small. Two or three people who know the product cold and have never had the headroom to move faster.
You work alongside those companies, in their codebase, with their engineers. Not as a consultant, not as a contractor. You bring agentic development to teams, you weigh in on the decisions that matter, and you leave each team faster than you found it. You will carry two or three companies at a time.
What You'll Do:
Show a team how to ship a feature in days instead of weeks, and stay until they can do it without you.
Work a production incident with the team. Find the root cause, then fix whatever let it happen.
Review the design for the next big piece of work before anyone writes code.
Interview candidates for a company that has never run a hiring process.
Find the manual process eating a GM's week and automate it away.
What We Are Looking For:
5+ years of experience across several stacks. Religious about none of them.
Judgment that does not need a committee. You are often the only Beacon person in the room.
A nose for what matters. You can tell which roadmap item pays for the other nine.
Initiative. Nobody hands you a backlog. You find the work.
Comfort with context switching - you may work with 3+ companies in a given week.
Easy to work with. The engineers you support do not owe you their trust. You earn it.
Daily use of AI coding tools, and the ability to teach them to someone else.
