Full Job Description
What You'll Actually Do

Own the technical direction. Make the calls that matter. Build products worth building, not just features to check a box.

The Real Deal

You'll be the person who:
  • Has strong opinions on what makes good software-and can explain why.
  • Pushes back on bad ideas early and champions the right ones, even if they're harder.
  • Knows when to cut corners and when to build for the long haul.
  • Bridges the gap between business goals and engineering reality without losing sight of either.
  • Guides and grows other developers-teaching them how to think, not just how to code.


Technical Leadership
  • Deep experience shipping both desktop and web applications that people actually use.
  • Strong taste in architecture, tooling, and process-and the ability to sell your vision to the team.
  • Defines how we build, test, and deploy software (CI/CD, automation, testing culture).
  • Comfortable leading across disciplines, from software stacks to hardware integrations.
  • Brings a clear-eyed view of AI tooling-knows when it accelerates us and when it's just hype.


Who You Are
  • Someone with taste and conviction. You don't just follow trends-you've got the experience to know which trade-offs matter.
  • You lead by example. You make decisions when others hesitate. You raise the bar for everyone around you.
  • You care about impact and craft in equal measure. You'll mentor juniors, inspire peers, and chart a path for the company's technology choices.
  • You're not afraid to learn something outside your comfort zone-firmware, signal processing, hardware-if it helps get the product over the finish line.


Why This Role Matters

If you want a role where the tech direction is already decided, this isn't it. But if you want to define how a company builds products, lead the people building them, and make choices that actually shape the business-let's talk.
