  • Set and enforce technical standards, performance, and clean abstractions
  • Work cross-functionally with product, content, and design teams
  • Stay hands-on in core systems - especially in the early stage
  • Recruit, onboard, and mentor new engineers

Requirements

  • 10+ years of backend or full-stack engineering experience
  • 5+ years in a technical leadership or mentorship role
  • Very strong GenAI Experience
  • Strong backend skills (Python preferred; FastAPI, Django or similar)
