## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Own delivery for your team — keep engineers unblocked, motivated, and focused on the work that drives Coast forward.
- Partner with Product and Design to drive measurable business outcomes by defining and shipping the best-in-class fuel and fleet spend user experience, and public APIs.
- Provide technical leadership by engaging with architecture, implementation, and engineering fundamentals.
- Coach and develop engineers through close attention to their actual work.
- Build AI fluency across your team, modeling its use in your own workflow, setting expectations for how engineers engage with AI-assisted development, and identifying where AI features can create durable product leverage for Coast's customers.
- Build a healthy, high-performing, inclusive team culture, and hire in a manner that perpetuates excellence.

## What success looks like in 6 months
- Your team ships predictably against clearly defined roadmap commitments.
- The business metrics owned by your team are tracking at or above projections.
- You have re-engineered how software gets built so AI becomes part of the operating model; code production, review, testing, and delivery are meaningfully restructured around it.
- There is a high degree of trust and clarity within your team and amongst its stakeholders.
- You have grown at least one engineer into a tech lead role.

## What we’re looking for
- 4+ years of success managing engineers, with a track record of growing engineers to the next level.
- 8+ years in web systems development.
- Strong technical judgment: making sound architectural decisions, managing technical debt, and upholding high engineering standards.
- Hands-on experience implementing AI-driven features in production.
- Experience developing AI fluency in engineering teams.
- Excellent communication: you understand that effective communication is critical to success and you translate technical concepts clearly for diverse stakeholders and keep projects moving.
- Proven experience hiring and developing talent.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in an early- to mid-stage startup environment where ambiguity and pace are part of the fun.

## What we offer
- A leadership role where you'll own a core part of our product, set its technical direction, and see your decisions reach thousands of customers.
- Competitive salary ($230,000 - $250,000 USD) and equity
- Company-sponsored 401(k)
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible paid time off (vacation, personal well being, paid holidays)
- Paid parental leave
- $400 accessories allowance (a keyboard, mouse, headphones, etc.)
- Education stipend
- Tools to help manage your financial wellness, including webinar, and access to an equity tax advisory service
- Free lunch on Fridays
