Responsibilities

Shipping code — our goal is to get to weekly releases or more frequent… We want to get the team aligned to ship features fast with minimal bugs or scalability issues

Be the ultimate authority on our system (in time) — for how it works, so that you can dive in and help unravel any gnarly bugs and issues

Architecture — Most of our devs can come up with elegant code, but you’ll just help ensure our code base is scalable

Lead & manage the tech team — you’ll be on top of all people’s work, deadlines, and can answer why something is taking too long

Head up tech strategy — you, with the Head of Product & the CEO, will help balance between features and tech debt. While delivering value to our users and making sure our product is still reliable

Avoid excessive complexity and over-engineering — our system is complex, but we need it as simple as possible so that we can easily manage it and find engineers who can help

Hire new engineers — Our in-house recruiter will supply you with candidates; your job will be to interview, evaluate, and hire the best ones

Final line of support — you’ll be Tier 4 of support only for really gnarly bugs. When this comes up, you train the team and document the fix so we have a lasting solution for the next time it comes up

Empower and scale the team — We have great devs. Your job is to get them what they need and get out of the way
