What you’ll do

• Drive execution on key product initiatives and outcomes—from shaping technical direction to delivering high-quality user-facing features.
• Be a force multiplier, leading, managing and growing a small team of engineers, while strategically hiring and evolving the team as we scale.
• Work with leadership to align engineering priorities with company-wide OKRs and shape long-term product and technical strategy.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills—you’re comfortable working cross-functionally and making tradeoffs with product/design and other stakeholders.
• Experience building growth features, internal tools, or working in marketplace or B2B SaaS contexts.
