About the Role

Lead a core engineering team building AI-powered tools that transform complex tax documents into reliable structured data. This hands-on player-coach role combines people leadership with regular technical contribution as the team grows.

What You'll Do

  • Manage and grow a team of senior, staff, and principal engineers while contributing code, reviewing designs, and debugging challenging problems.

  • Ship customer-facing, evaluation-driven AI products for document processing and data extraction.

  • Coach engineers through direct feedback, support their technical and product judgment, and help develop future leaders.

  • Own hiring, onboarding, and team growth as the organization scales.

  • Work with domain experts and customer-facing teams to connect engineering decisions to product and business outcomes.

What We're Looking For

  • 10 or more years of software engineering experience, with substantial hands-on individual contributor work and formal engineering management experience.

  • Experience managing a team of engineers, ideally including staff or principal-level reports, while remaining actively involved in production software development.

  • Backend, backend infrastructure, or backend-leaning full-stack expertise, with current experience writing code, reviewing designs and pull requests, and debugging.

  • Experience building or leading external, customer-facing products and hiring, onboarding, and scaling engineering teams.

  • Ability to set clear expectations, give direct feedback, address performance concerns, and help engineers grow.

  • Exposure to AI or machine learning systems, such as document AI, retrieval-based systems, agentic systems, or evaluation-driven development. Python, TypeScript, and cloud infrastructure experience are useful.

  • Must be authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
