About the role
We're looking for an engineering leader to own how Nametag's engineering team works — how it plans, ships, operates, and grows.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years managing software engineers, including senior and staff-level ICs, with a track record of shipping production systems
- A strong engineering background of your own — you've built and operated backend or distributed systems at scale, and you can still hold your own in a design review
- Experience owning delivery for a team: planning, prioritization, and accountability for outcomes rather than activity
- Experience running on-call and incident response for a production system with real availability expectations
- Demonstrated hiring success — you've built an interview process, not just sat on panels
- Comfort operating at startup scope: ambiguous problems, shifting priorities, and no one else to hand the hard thing to

This is a player-coach role on a small, senior team. You'll manage a group of staff- and senior-level engineers working across a Go backend on AWS, a React/TypeScript frontend, native mobile clients, and the ML systems behind our fraud detection. You will not be writing most of the code, but you need to be able to read it, review it, and hold a credible opinion in a design discussion. Engineers here are experienced and autonomous; they want a manager who removes obstacles and raises the bar, not one who assigns tickets.
You'll own delivery end to end: what the team...
