recruit and develop engineers and managers, including from minimal staffing
Hold a high technical bar: review front-end system designs, challenge architectural decisions, and identify performance issues from technical signals
Deep fluency in Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, and modern build tooling (e.g., Turborepo, Rspack), with hands-on architectural credibility
Lead and develop three engineering teams, scaling the organization as it grows; recruit and develop engineers and managers, including from minimal staffing
