Team Structure and Culture

  • Team of about 15 people, with a mix of in-person and remote staff.
  • Culture emphasizes independence and technical understanding.

Pain Points

  • Main bottleneck is engineering talent to keep up with a strong sales funnel.
  • Need for specialization as the team and product offerings expand.

Technical Stack

  • Strong judgment across security, reliability, cost, and iteration-speed tradeoffs
  • Been operating at the edge of AI-first development for some time
  • Learned practical lessons from decades of enterprise-grade engineering patterns
  • Strong opinions on how old systems should be improved or replaced
  • High ownership and comfort working across many domains

What you'll do:

  • Build internal platforms and AI loops that increase company iteration speed
  • Strengthen security, compliance, and operational readiness
  • Improve CI/CD, testing, deployments, and developer environments
  • Evaluate and implement new tooling, storage, and compute systems
  • Enable non-technical staff to build and ship improvements safely
  • Enable technical teams to ship scalable, enterprise-ready systems faster
  • Resolve incidents and production fires with both immediate fixes and long-term solutions
