- Build and lead a small, high-quality engineering team

- Experience taking complex hardware from prototype to operations
- Comfortable making technical decisions under uncertainty
- Startup mindset: hands-on, pragmatic, systems-driven
Important to know
This is not a software-only or AI-only role.
This is a builder role in an early-stage startup, where ownership, judgement and hands-on involvement matter more than titles or processes. The environment is fast-moving, and priorities change as the company learns and grows.
If you’re someone who enjoys building real systems, taking responsibility end-to-end, and shaping technology from the ground up, we’d like to hear from you.
