BUILD SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS WITH THE FREEDOM TO LEAD HOW YOU WORK BEST
We’re working with a sharp, mission-driven AI company that’s quietly building a product with serious edge. Their advantage? They already have the data others are chasing. Now, they’re ready to build the platform that makes it all work, and they need an Engineering Manager who knows how to lead, code, and grow a team from the ground up.
This is a rare opportunity to step in early, shape the architecture, and influence the product from day one. If you’re someone who likes building more than maintaining, and mentoring more than micromanaging, this might be your next move.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
You’ll lead the development of a brand-new Ruby on Rails platform. It’s a true player-coach role: one part architect, one part hands-on builder, one part mentor. You’ll be working directly with product and leadership to set direction, move fast, and build things the right way.
You’ll help hire and grow the team as the company scales—but you’ll start by getting your hands dirty. It’s a 50/50 split between coding and management, and you’ll be central to making sure the product ships cleanly, quickly, and at a high standard.
WHO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
If you're excited about building fast, solving hard problems, and leading small, senior teams with autonomy, this could be a great fit. You might be the right person if:
- You’ve led small engineering teams before and enjoy a hybrid hands-on/management role
- You have deep experience with Ruby on Rails and have built complex platforms from scratch
- You’re motivated by ownership and prefer building new systems over maintaining legacy code
- You thrive in early-stage environments and enjoy helping set the pace, not just follow it
- You’re confident working cross-functionally with product and leadership teams
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
This isn’t a rescue mission or a roadmap rewrite. You’re coming in early to build something that hasn’t been built yet, with a team that’s sharp, focused, and moving fast. The company already owns the data that gives them an advantage, they just need the right engineering lead to turn it into a product the market can’t ignore.
You’ll get autonomy, clarity, and the chance to build a team around your approach. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to lead something that’s both technical and strategic, this is worth a serious look.
