Job Description

As the strategic and hands-on leader of our engineering team, you’ll shape the technical roadmap while driving outcomes through people—fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and continuous improvement. This role blends architectural direction with a passion for mentoring and technical execution. With 5+ years of full-stack Rails experience and 3+ years leading or managing high-performing teams, you bring a proven ability to scale systems, deliver secure and maintainable code, and inspire others to do their best work. Your deep involvement in both people and products makes you the kind of leader who builds not just great software, but great teams. If you’re ready to lead with intention and code with purpose, let’s talk!

Spend your days:

• Translate product strategy into scalable engineering solutions by leading delivery planning, clarifying priorities, and improving team velocity through thoughtful process optimization.
• Oversee backend systems and third-party integrations to ensure long-term stability, performance, and scalability.
• Support and grow a high-performing team by coaching, managing performance, and encouraging continuous learning
• Stay hands-on with the work — spending up to 30–50% of your time unblocking the team through pairing, review, or contribution
• Ensure compliance with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA standards by owning system risk and infrastructure quality
• Integrate and apply AI/ML tools and research to create efficiencies, surface insights, and support engineering innovation
• Serve as the final escalation point for urgent issues related to platform stability or performance
• Champion strong engineering practices (OWASP, NIST, etc.) to scale securely and minimize operational risk
• Align team initiatives with Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS) goals and company-wide goals (rocks).
• Coordinate with cross-functional partners in Product, Operations, and CX to ensure engineering work supports broader business outcomes
• Identify when external resources are needed, evaluate potential partners, and manage engagements to deliver on time and on budget

• Comfort with ambiguity and a builder’s mindset with a bias toward action
• Proficient in Ruby, JavaScript, Rails, and tools in our current stack (see below)
• Experience in data security, compliance, and scalable infrastructure
• Familiarity with AI/ML trends and how to incorporate them into team workflows and product development
