## About the role

We're looking for a Director of Product Engineering to lead the team building Braintrust's core product experience. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role for someone who cares deeply about both building great products and great engineering teams. You’ll shape how we build: setting technical direction, raising our product bar, and growing an exceptional product engineering team.

## What they're looking for

- A proven engineering leader who has built, managed, and scaled high-performing teams, with a track record of recruiting exceptional engineers and developing future leaders
- Exceptional product judgment and UI craft. You know what separates a good product from a world-class one and care deeply about usability, performance, interaction design, and the details
- Deep technical expertise in modern web applications. You’ve built sophisticated, data-intensive products and are comfortable with technologies like TypeScript, React, SQL, and Next.js
- A builder's mindset. You can think about organizational strategy one minute and dig into an architecture decision the next
- High ownership and a bias toward action. You thrive in fast-moving environments, make pragmatic decisions, and know how to create teams that move quickly without sacrificing quality
- Experience with startups or AI is valuable, but not required. We’d especially value experience building LLM-powered products or leading teams through rapid growth
