- Shape a lean, high-performing team with AI as core to the way the team ships.
- Get engineers onto the highest-impact work, with a shared way of prioritising alongside Product and Design.

- Build the leadership bench and engineering culture that let the org keep compounding.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Hands-on leader, strong in TypeScript, who writes and reviews code. This is how everyone operates here, starting with our CTO.
- Already rethought how a team works with AI and shipped faster because of it.
- Bonus: React Native, Python, data pipelines.
YOUR TRACK RECORD

- Led Frontend, Backend, and Reliability functions, and know how to design the operating model that lets them move together at speed.
- Partnered closely with Product and Design, turning business priorities into a shared roadmap.
