Head of Software Engineering, Re:Build Manufacturing

• You’re a builder and leader who measures success by customer impact and has developed prototype products and taken them to scale
• You’ve deployed on modern frameworks and can develop software that pushes the frontier
• You’re energized by solving hard customer problems, finding new ways to work, and shipping products which make people’s jobs meaningfully better
• 5+ years building software products from concept to scale (10K+ users)
• Deep expertise in full-stack web development and API design
• Experience with cloud platforms and containerized deployments
• Track record of leading engineering teams (3+ engineers) and technical hiring
• Strong opinions about system design, loosely held
• Ability to balance rapid iteration with maintainable, well-tested code
• Building SaaS platforms from scratch at startups or innovation labs

Desirable

• Join the team who is building an AI-powered platform to transform the $2T engineering services industry
• We’re creating an intelligent operating system for engineering firms and their customers, using agentic AI to supercharge their talents and build products in hard technology spaces
• This is a ground-floor opportunity for an entrepreneurial engineering leader
• You’ll create the technical foundations for a high-potential software product with the support of a parent company that is leading innovation in engineering and manufacturing
• You’ll lead our software engineering efforts and work closely with our general manager, head of product, and AI engineers
• You’ll own the systems and software we deploy and build our engineering team from 1 to 8+ engineers over the next 18 months
• Architect and implement cloud-native applications using modern frameworks
• Create robust APIs and services that power both web applications and AI agents
• Build data pipelines and infrastructure to support AI/ML workflows
• Establish engineering practices that allow our teams to move fast with minimal breakage and accrued technical debt
• Collaborate with customers during regular feedback sessions to refine the product
• Present technical strategy and progress in monthly leadership reviews
• First 90 Days:
• Learn the Re:Build business and establish an understanding of our companies, their customers, and how they collaborate
• Sharpen our team development practices and the technology stacks we’ll use to scale from 10 to 100,000 users
• Develop first prototypes of our AI-powered agents and validate them with product and pilot customers
• First Year:
• Own the entire software stack from infrastructure to user experience
• Productionize models and agent workflows with our AI engineering team
• Hire and grow a small but mighty team with software, devops, and mlops expertise
• Develop software that helps us realize product-market fit and win our first 10 paying customers
• Build systems that balance speed of iteration with long-term scalability
• You’ll have significant input on choosing our tools, frameworks, and development languages as we scale. We value pragmatic technology decisions that balance speed of development with long-term maintainability. We use GitHub, Linear, and modern AI coding assistants to increase velocity
• Quality First: Human or AI-generated code must be well-tested and maintainable
• Customer-Focused: Regular customer feedback sessions directly inform our roadmap
• Pragmatic Innovation: We adopt new technologies when they solve real problems
• Team Growth: You’ll mentor engineers and have significant ownership over hiring
• Transparent Communication: Regular team interactions, monthly leadership reviews, open decision-making
• What Success Looks Like:
• Month 3: First agentic AI feature in pilot testing gaining customer feedback
• Month 6: Multiple pilot customers using several agents on the platform regularly
• Month 12: Clear product-market fit signals and platform earning revenue from first engineering services projects
