Founding Product Engineer
About The Position
We believe the way engineering output is measured today is fundamentally broken. Our mission is to build the definitive platform for understanding how engineering teams work, using modern AI to surface meaningful insights about productivity, quality, and collaboration—without the vanity metrics. As our Founding Product Engineer , you won’t just be writing code; you will be defining the technical foundation and product direction of the company. You will work directly with our CTO (a former founding engineer) and CEO (a seasoned sales leader) in a small, intense, and highly collaborative environment. Your primary goal is to build things customers love.

- Excellent Communication: You can articulate technical and product concepts clearly to both engineers and executives.
