## Requirements
- Passion for both engineering management and hands-on technical work.
- Ability to hold in-depth technical conversations across infrastructure, backend, and frontend engineering.
- Enjoyment of management challenges, including coaching, feedback, and team development.
- Ability to maintain high standards and engage deeply with team details.
- Excellent, empathetic communication skills.
- Strong understanding of exceptional engineering talent, recruiting, and career growth.
- Product and business judgment, with a preference for empowering teams rather than making all decisions personally.
- Ability to thrive in a high-trust, high-autonomy startup environment.
- Willingness to stay current with technology and continue coding.
- Optimism about building engineering teams that operate with substantial ownership and autonomy.

## Compensation
