* Building the engineering hiring pipeline, onboarding, and career frameworks from day one.
What We’re Looking For:
* 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing other managers or tech leads.
* A strong engineering background (ideally full-stack or backend-heavy SaaS), with an ability to earn technical trust.
* Experience in fast-paced startup environments and a willingness to wear multiple hats.
* A track record of building high-performing teams and nurturing talent.
* Someone excited to shape not just the product, but the company.
* Experience managing multiple teams, ideally above 10 heads.
Bonus:
* B2B experience
