We’re looking for a hands-on Software Development Team Lead to lead a lean full-stack team (– engineers) and ship fast. We develop exclusively in Cursor and optimize for AI-generated code—your job is not only to lead the team, but equally to actively engage in development to get the product into users’ hands quickly.
You’ll work across our TypeScript stack (, , React Native, Neon (Postgres), AWS) and the tooling we live in every day (GitHub, Linear, Notion). You'll work directly with users and PMs. Where possible, you'll partner directly with users to get first hand problem understanding so that you can ship fast.
