## About the role

We have 15 engineers and more than $100M in ARR, and we're scaling the engineering team roughly 3x over the next year. The Marketplace team sits at the center of that: it owns how supply (recruiters) meets demand (companies and their open roles), and every improvement it ships moves revenue directly.

## What they're looking for

- 2+ years managing engineers (Manager) or 5+ years including managing multiple teams or managers (Director), on top of a strong IC background
- You've worked on a marketplace, payments, pricing, or another domain where the system's incentives matter as much as its code
- Data-fluent: you can pull your own SQL, sanity-check an experiment readout, and push back on a bad metric
- AI fluency is a floor here, not a differentiator. You use AI tools in your own work and you know how to raise a team's leverage with them
- You write things down. Operating norms, decision docs, postmortems. Clarity in writing is how small teams stay fast as they grow
- Comfortable being hands-on in a fast-moving codebase
