• Build the leadership bench and engineering culture that let the org keep compounding.

What You Bring

• Hands-on leader, strong in TypeScript, who writes and reviews code. This is how everyone operates here, starting with our CTO.

• Already rethought how a team works with AI and shipped faster because of it.

• Bonus: React Native, Python, data pipelines.
