- Own the release pipeline end-to-end branch strategy, CI/CD, automated testing, versioned builds, and demo-day readiness.

- Hands-on development pair-program, review PRs, and jump into critical-path code (TypeScript/Node, Go/Rust, or Python) whenever the team is blocked.

- Coach & unblock the team micro-manage 6-10 engineers until velocity feels effortless; in stil clear definition of done and code-quality gates.

- Embed AI in the workflow push AI coding tools / IDE to their limits; wire LLM services into new features.

- Drive a ship-fast, iterate-faster culture short sprints, clean merges, nightly builds, zero demo day surprises.

You'll be a good fit if you :

- Were a cracked builder before the Al wave.

- Have Al fully embedded in your workflow but didn't need it to be great.

- Know how to use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Google CLI, Windsurf, Replit, and Lovable and push them to the limit.

- Can build entirely functional prototypes within 1-2 hours using AI tools.

- Have built products people use (and love).

- Care more about who you work with than what you work on.

- Ship fast, iterate faster, and value momentum over perfection.

- See coding as craft performance, polish, and UX matter to you.

- Are allergic to bureaucracy and energized by ownership
