Our take: The real work here is growing engineers and owning delivery for a mission-driven squad, holding a high bar while trusting the team to make its own calls.

If you love watching engineers grow into their best selves and you get more energy from unblocking a team than from shipping the code yourself, this is your kind of work. You will own delivery across a squad, hold a high bar with clarity and kindness, and shape a mission that genuinely tries to make money work for everyone. There is real autonomy here, a learning budget, and a company that means it when it talks about balance.
