Leadership Experience

  • Senior technology leadership role (CTO or equivalent) with proven scaling success
  • Track record building and leading high-performance engineering teams
  • Deep expertise in product collaboration and system architecture
  • Expertise in attracting and retaining top engineering talent
  • Personal Skills: Collaborative, strong communicator to connect business and technical objectives to execs, high EQ, mentality to build for purpose not to just “make cool stuff”

Technical Depth

  • Strong background in Python/Django, JavaScript/TypeScript, and React
  • Experience with data infrastructure, analytics, and warehouse solutions

  • Bonus: Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Docker), CI/CD optimization

Mission Alignment

  • Genuine passion for improving lives through technology
  • Empathy for users navigating complex systems
