Join an early-stage B2B SaaS team as its hands-on engineering lead, shaping platform architecture and applied machine learning strategy alongside the technical founders. You will lead a small engineering pod while building and shipping critical product work, helping establish the technical foundation and practices for the team.

  • Lead a pod of three to four engineers, supporting their growth, performance, and hiring while remaining hands-on with key projects.
  • Own core platform architecture, infrastructure decisions, build-versus-buy choices, and cost considerations.
  • Set engineering standards, code review criteria, release practices, definitions of done, and on-call policies.
  • Lead technical design and initial implementation for new initiatives.
  • Evaluate applied machine learning approaches and distinguish techniques ready for production from those that are still speculative.
  • Partner with the technical leadership team on product direction, model strategy, and the engineering roadmap.
