About this role
About Us
We’re building the next generation of the TV operating system, reimagining the experience at the intersection of television, streaming, and how people discover and search.
The Role
This is a player-coach role at a critical moment. You'll manage and scale a high-performing team while staying close to the work, setting engineering standards, unblocking execution, and ensuring we ship fast without accumulating debt that slows us down later.
What You'll Do
Lead, grow, and retain a world-class software engineering team across consumer software and AI
Own engineering execution, sprint planning, resourcing, delivery, and team health
Set and enforce engineering standards: code quality, architecture patterns, review culture, and on-call practices
Partner with product and design to scope work, surface tradeoffs, and hit milestones
Recruit aggressively, you'll be a key part of building the team around you
Serve as the connective tissue between individual engineers and company leadership
You
8+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years managing engineering teams
Deep experience shipping consumer-facing software — you know what a polished, high-quality product takes
Fluent in AI/ML-integrated systems — you've worked on products where models are core to the experience, not a bolt-on
Strong people manager: you develop engineers, give direct feedback, and build team culture
Execution-oriented — you keep things moving, resolve ambiguity, and protect the team from noise
Technically credible enough to earn respect from strong engineers without needing to be in every design decision
Why Join
You'll be building and leading the engineering team behind a product that's genuinely new. Small team, real ownership, close to the decision-making, and the opportunity to set engineering culture from scratch. We're well-capitalized and moving fast.
