  • Establish a high bar for editor quality, correctness, latency, and reliability, and use user feedback and evaluation results to guide improvements
  • Work with infrastructure and enterprise partners to deliver dependable experiences, align interfaces and ownership, and resolve problems across team boundaries
  • Balance new product development with the technical investments and operational discipline needed to sustain quality as the product grows
  • Build an effective operating cadence that keeps a fast-moving team aligned and gives engineers the context and autonomy to do their best work

Qualifications

  • Have strong full-stack engineering fundamentals and can guide technical decisions across frontend, backend, and model-facing systems
  • Work effectively with product, design, research, and infrastructure partners, building alignment without losing momentum
  • Care deeply about craft, performance, correctness, and reliability, and can help a team improve all four while moving quickly
  • Communicate clearly, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and adapt as user needs and model capabilities evolve
  • Want to help define and build a new category of work for teams and agents
  • Experience as a founder, product manager, or design engineer would be especially relevant, as would a track record of bringing a similarly strong product perspective to engineering leadership
