You love turning chaos into clarity, bringing structure, mentorship, and technical excellence to fast-moving teams. You want to shape how a product used by the world’s top sports brands evolves, both technically and organizationally. You thrive in a hands-on leadership role, close enough to the code to stay credible, but focused on helping others grow and ship better every week.

You want to join a profitable, fast-scaling startup where engineering feels personal, collaborative, and deeply product-driven.

Experienced in a high-growth startup or scale-up (10–50 engineers) where process and structure were being built.
