Lead a tight-knit, hybrid team of high-performing engineers.
Own roadmap and process to rapidly deliver product improvements, while investing in longer-term scaling efforts on the Insights platform.

Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment.
Hands on: we don’t expect you to write load-bearing code, but we expect you to be able to roll up your sleeves from time to time to understand the technical systems.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area and able to come to the office 3x per week.

Nice-to-have:

Experience working on a 0-to-1 product.
