Our take: The real work here is growing a distributed engineering team and its delivery, coaching people to own outcomes while keeping a core platform reliable.

This is a role for someone who gets more satisfaction from a growing engineer than from their own commit history. You will build a globally distributed team, coach people toward real ownership, and shape how a core platform gets delivered across product, design, and engineering. If you love creating a safe, high-standards culture where people do their best remote work, and you are curious about weaving AI into the daily flow, this is your kind of hard.
