## About the role

Lead a team of 4-8 engineers on one of our product engineering teams. Stay deep in the code. You'll write and ship features alongside your team, not just review their PRs

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years managing engineers directly with a track record of developing them
- Strong technical foundation. You've shipped real pieces of a production roadmap and can run a design review, debug a production incident, and make architecture tradeoffs
- Backend-leaning full stack on Ruby (Grape) with React/Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend. Comfortable with third-party APIs (OAuth, webhooks, rate limits, idempotency), observability, on-call, incident management, AWS, and Terraform
- You're already running AI coding agents autonomously, including overnight, to ship.Daily Claude Code use is table stakes. We expect you to lead by example and push your team to do the same
- Strong communicator and self-starter who can represent engineering to non-technical stakeholders and is comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
- Empathy for our end users, including low-to-moderate-income renters, and a desire to build products that make a difference
