Own the company's technical direction, make architecture and technology decisions, and lead development practices across desktop and web applications. Define how software is built, tested, automated, and deployed while bridging business and engineering needs. Mentor and grow developers, guide cross-disciplinary work involving hardware and firmware, and evaluate AI tools pragmatically. The role requires strong technical judgment, software craftsmanship, leadership, and the ability to shape long-term product and technology strategy.
What You'll Actually Do
Own the technical direction. Make the calls that matter. Build products worth building, not just features to check a box.
The Real Deal
You’ll be the person who:
- Has strong opinions on what makes good software—and can explain why.
- Pushes back on bad ideas early and champions the right ones, even if they’re harder.
- Knows when to cut corners and when to build for the long haul.
- Bridges the gap between business goals and engineering reality without losing sight of either.
- Guides and grows other developers—teaching them how to think, not just how to code.
Technical Leadership
- Deep experience shipping both desktop and web applications that people actually use.
- Strong taste in architecture, tooling, and process—and the ability to sell your vision to the team.
- Defines how we build, test, and deploy software (CI/CD, automation, testing culture).
- Comfortable leading across disciplines, from software stacks to hardware integrations.
- Brings a clear-eyed view of AI tooling—knows when it accelerates us and when it’s just hype.
Who You Are
- Someone with taste and conviction. You don’t just follow trends—you’ve got the experience to know which trade-offs matter.
- You lead by example. You make decisions when others hesitate. You raise the bar for everyone around you.
- You care about impact and craft in equal measure. You’ll mentor juniors, inspire peers, and chart a path for the company’s technology choices.
- You’re not afraid to learn something outside your comfort zone—firmware, signal processing, hardware—if it helps get the product over the finish line.
Why This Role Matters
If you want a role where the tech direction is already decided, this isn’t it. But if you want to define how a company builds products, lead the people building them, and make choices that actually shape the business—let’s talk.
