About the role
The Points Guy is transforming from a media business into a consumer product company. For fifteen years we helped millions of people master points, miles, and travel through content. Now we are building the products that do it for them, including AI-native, consumer-facing experiences that act on a user's behalf. The engineering problems in front of us are about engagement, growth, and active users, not page views.
What they're looking for
- Experience leading a team of engineers through delivery, ideally on consumer-facing products at some scale
- A track record of developing people: engineers who worked for you got promoted, got better, or both
- Comfort owning outcomes you don't fully control: you're accountable for your team's delivery and morale even when the ask changes under you
- sufficient to evaluate technical trade-offs and coach engineers through them
- A bias toward direct, specific feedback over vague encouragement, and the follow-through to make change stick
