• Own the technical roadmap and make sure every engineering effort maps directly to business impact. • Lead and grow an engineering team that ships fast, iterates constantly, and treats complexity as a cost. • Tackle the hard, multi-layered problem: automated vetting, intelligent matching at scale, demand-side bottlenecks. • Make hard prioritization calls. Decide what we build, what we skip, and what we kill. • Work directly with the founder and product team to define what success looks like before writing a single line of code. • Build the engineering culture: high ownership, high speed, low bureaucracy.
