Responsibilities
You're accountable for business results (customer satisfaction, system reliability, and competitive differentiation), not just story points completed
Collaborate intensively with Product and Design to shape roadmap, challenge assumptions, and ensure we're building the right things for enterprise customers
Understand the complex needs of organizations managing global privacy compliance at scale; ensure our systems meet Fortune 500 requirements for security, performance, and auditability
Anticipate technical and organizational scaling challenges 6-12 months ahead and architect solutions proactively
Own architecture decisions for DSR systems, API integrations, and reporting infrastructure that must handle massive scale
Drive adoption of best-in-class approaches to code quality, testing, observability, and incident response
Lead adoption of AI tools across the development lifecycle, from AI-assisted code generation to intelligent testing and documentation
Systems must support enterprise customers with complex global requirements; you ensure technical decisions enable 10x growth without rewrites
Attract world-class engineering talent through compelling vision, strong referral network, and excellent candidate experience (target: fill roles within 45 days)
Create conditions where senior engineers operate with high agency: set clear goals, provide context, remove obstacles, then get out of the way
Maintain 95%+ retention of A-players through meaningful work, growth opportunities, and exceptional team culture
New engineers ship meaningful code within 30 days and reach full productivity within 60 days
Embody Ethyca's value of rapid iteration: scope ruthlessly, hit deadlines, and ship early and often
Continuously eliminate friction in development workflows; every sprint retrospective should yield concrete improvements
Work seamlessly with Product, Design, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure engineering efforts ladder to business objectives
Proactively surface risks, celebrate wins, and maintain trust through radical transparency with stakeholders
