What We Need

An engineering manager who is intensely focused on delivering tangible outcomes while maintaining enthusiasm for the broader vision. Must be experienced in leading software teams that deliver quickly, frequently experiment, and transfer projects to product seamlessly. Should be a hands-on coder but capable of knowing when to step back. View programming languages as easily learnable tools rather than identities. Driven to optimize everything with AI, utilizing both traditional software and cutting-edge methods. Understanding blockchain or decentralized systems and LLMs is advantageous. Personal projects in these fields are required. Maintain a fully open attitude, embracing the public domain. Production must be robust, but all else (ideas, prototypes, experiments) should remain publicly accessible.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Hire and guide leads for multiple AI x Crypto x Blockchain projects.
  • Oversee rapid Proof of Concept (PoC) delivery, ensuring minimal friction and maximum velocity.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers for timely, high-quality releases.
  • Contribute code where it counts.
  • Align with an open ethos—innovate in public, build out loud, and maintain a thriving end-user ecosystem.
  • Comfortably terminate and iterate on projects.
  • Coordinate with the group manager to establish new AI x Crypto and Robotics projects.

Requirements

  • Evidence of having led multiple small to large teams.
  • Experience shipping open-source code with considerable adoption.
  • Utilize LLMs to replace all interfaces.

Nice to Have

  • Experience shipping projects from inception.
  • Robotics is not mandatory (our hardware team handles this), but some understanding of the field is beneficial.

If these projects resonate with you, you will feel it. The work will be enjoyable yet challenging when the air bubble bursts. We will continue pioneering.
