Full Job Description
## Role Scope - Lead a team of engineers building the internal software the buildout runs on, staying hands-on in the code while owning delivery.- Run the operating rhythm of a small, high-velocity team: priorities set, blockers cleared, and working software shipped weekly.- Own the growth and performance of your engineers, and hire to keep pace as the tool surface expands with the company.- Partner with product and the operating teams, manufacturing, delivery, operations, to decide what gets built next and what gets killed. ## What We're Looking For The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would. - You've led a small engineering team that shipped fast, and the engineers you managed would work for you again.- You still write and review production code, and your technical judgment holds up in an architecture debate.- You've built internal tools or operational software where adoption, not launch, was the bar.- You make priority calls quickly with imperfect information and own the outcome.- You've hired engineers yourself: sourced them, closed them, and ramped them. Bonus: AI-native development workflows. Go, TypeScript, or Python in production. Manufacturing, logistics, or infrastructure domains. Experience at a company that builds physical things. We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
