Lead and build the engineering organization, managing people, planning, delivery, reliability, and recruiting, reporting to the CTO.
О компании
- is building the AI operating system for investment research.
- Our software helps private equity firms, consultants and financial institutions complete high-stakes research workflows dramatically faster — from diligence and memo writing to market mapping, research synthesis and strategic analysis.
- We’re building toward a future where AI can run substantially more of that work: conducting research, understanding evidence and producing outputs customers can use to make decisions.
- Bootstrapped and profitable
- ~$28M+ ARR, after growing 10x last year
- 65+ people across New York, London and Sydney
- ~20-person engineering team across four to five teams
- Trusted by leading private equity firms, consultancies and financial institutions
- Core stack: TypeScript, Next.js and PostgreSQL
- AI-assisted development has already changed how quickly we can build. Our current engineering team operates with the output of a much larger organization — and that pace is only increasing.
- We’re now looking for someone to build the engineering organization for ’s next chapter.
Обязанности
- You’ll report to our CTO and own the day-to-day operation of engineering: people, planning, delivery, reliability and recruiting.
- The CTO will continue to own product and technology direction, frontier experimentation, AI-native development and consequential long-term architecture.
- You’ll turn that direction into results.
- You’ll have the authority to challenge scope, sequencing and commitments when they aren’t credible — and the responsibility to make sure the organization delivers on the ones it makes.
- This is not a role where you spend your first three months observing from the sidelines.
- You’ll begin by doing the work:
- Ship production code
- Learn our systems and development tools
- Join architecture and debugging discussions
- Work directly with engineers, Product and customers
- Take an on-call shift
- Build firsthand context before changing how the organization operates
- You’ll progressively take ownership of engineering operations, but this will remain a deeply technical leadership role. You’ll stay close to the code, architecture and important production problems.
- Delivery: Set clear priorities, owners and achievable scope across Engineering, Product and Design
- Engineering leadership: Develop hands-on Engineering Leads who can run strong, autonomous teams
- Organization design: Build a lean organization capable of growing toward 40–60 engineers where the business justifies it
- Recruiting: Own engineering hiring and help us maintain a very high technical bar as the team grows
- People: Lead feedback, performance and development while giving excellent ICs room to grow without becoming managers
- Reliability: Establish clear ownership of critical systems, improve incident response and eliminate recurring failures
- Engineering effectiveness: Remove friction across tooling, testing, reviews and delivery
- AI-native development: Turn AI-assisted engineering into measurable improvements in speed and quality
- Financial ownership: Own engineering’s infrastructure, tooling and AI spend — and be accountable for the value we get from it
- The goal is not to add process for the sake of it. It’s to introduce structure where it helps us move faster — and remove it when it doesn’t.
Требования
- You’re still deeply technical and can write production code, understand unfamiliar systems and debug difficult problems
- You’ve led engineering teams through meaningful growth and ambiguity
- You can point to specific improvements you’ve made across delivery, reliability and organizational clarity
- You’ve hired excellent engineers and developed strong ICs and engineering leaders
- You’re comfortable giving difficult feedback and making performance decisions
- You know when management and process help — and when they get in the way
- You’ve built software where reliability, security and customer trust genuinely matter
- You use AI development tools thoughtfully and have strong views on how they will change engineering teams
- You can challenge a highly technical founder constructively
- You want to work closely with Product, customers and the codebase
- You’re based in New York, or committed to relocating, and excited to work with the team in person
- We care far more about what you’ve personally built, owned and improved than your previous title.
- Prior VP or Head of Engineering experience is not required.
Другое
- You’ve shipped meaningful production code
- You understand the systems, team and customers
- You’ve earned technical trust across the organization
- You’ve established clear operating baselines
- You’ve identified a small number of high-impact improvements grounded in firsthand experience
- You own routine engineering operations and most engineering recruiting
- Every team has clear ownership and strong leadership
- Commitments are more credible and risks surface earlier
- The CTO spends substantially less time assigning work and chasing project updates
- Engineering ships faster with fewer recurring failures
- Engineers still have autonomy, direct founder access and room to pursue ambitious ideas
- The impact of engineering work is clearly connected to customer and business outcomes
