## About the role

You'll set technical direction for how products get built at Luma, directing AI coding agents to ship production systems fast while making the disciplined calls on scope, structure, and trade-offs. This is a senior role where judgment, not typing, is the constraint.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years building and shipping production software
- Multiple non-trivial projects where you owned technical direction and execution end to end
- High-stakes technical decisions that materially affected a system or product
- Fluency with AI coding tools, used to ship real functionality in production or substantial side projects
- Strong technical depth (system design, distributed systems, security, infrastructure) or strong product intuition (user empathy, prioritization, UX taste), ideally both
