About the role
- Creating the engineering vision & storytelling how we'll get there
- Hiring, performance management, & elevating the talent bar
- Mentoring & empowering leaders and ICs alike
Responsibilities
- Own Engineering's narrative across All Hands, leadership reviews, board updates, and investor conversations.
- Define how Posh's engineers and non-technical ICs alike use AI to build - codifying agentic workflows, evaluating tooling, and reshaping team structure for an era where leverage per engineer is multiplying.
- Ensure every tenured engineer has a personalized growth document.
- Every engineer should know what great looks like, what they own, and what their next step is.
- Posh enables anyone to build an IRL community based on shared interests, while connecting consumers with the communities of people just like them.
Requirements
- 12+ years of engineering experience with at least 3+ years leading engineers-of-engineers (i.e., managing managers) on high-growth consumer or marketplace software teams.
- Ideally, you have personally scaled an engineering org through the 25 → 75+ engineer band (Series A-C+) and know exactly what breaks at each stage.
- Strong opinion - and recent direct experience - on how AI is reshaping engineering org structure, developer experience, and team leverage.
- you have a thesis.
- Experience working closely with a founder/CEO who is highly involved in product, taste, and pace.
Nice to have
- Background at companies known for engineering craft and consumer obsession - Airbnb, Uber, DoorDash, Stripe, Linear, Ramp, Notion, Figma, or similar.
- Experience inheriting existing engineering teams and managing through organizational change.
- A point of view on engineering culture you've put into writing - talks, posts, internal manifestos that we can pressure-test against ours.
- A deep network of other engineering leaders you'd be able to invite for talks and mentorship for new managers
