  • Strong technical judgment across modern web, API, and cloud infrastructure. 

  • Track record of building engineering culture, hiring well, and growing senior individual contributors. 

  • Comfort operating in a pre-CTO environment with the discipline to set durable foundations without over-fixing. 

  • Background in a startup, early-stage, or entrepreneurial environment. 

  • Track record of using AI-enabled tools and practices to accelerate your work.
