Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers, as a manager or tech lead, and comfort staying hands-on technically while growing others
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, with deep proficiency in Python and working proficiency in at least one JVM language (Scala, Java, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with distributed build systems (e.g., Bazel, Buck, Pants) and large-scale distributed data/compute frameworks (e.g., Spark, Beam)
  • Comfort with parallel and distributed computing, and experience operating systems at a scale where naive approaches stop working
  • A track record of diagnosing developer friction from direct observation of how engineers actually work, not just from ticket queues, and shipping tooling that measurably improves it
