About The Position

As the HRBP for Product and Engineering, you will be the primary thought partner to our CTO and SVP, Product. You won't just "handle HR requests”, you will sit at the intersection of talent strategy and technical execution. You will ensure our engineering pods are structured for velocity, our product leaders are coached for high-stakes decision-making, and our talent bar remains high as we launch new AI products. In this role you will have the opportunity to tackle a variety of complex problems. On a Tuesday, you might spend the morning coaching a Director on a difficult performance conversation, the afternoon helping the CTO re-org an engineering pod to hit a Q3 shipping goal, and the evening analyzing whether our senior engineer compensation is keeping us competitive against the market.

Responsibilities

Act as strategic thought partner to Product and Engineering leadership, leveraging business acumen to enable high-performing teams that maximize the delivery of high-impact, innovative products.
Participate in technical leadership meetings to ensure talent strategy is proactively aligned with the product roadmap.
Analyze data trends (attrition, hiring velocity, talent density) to provide leaders with "early warning" insights and actionable solutions.
Lead talent reviews and cross-functional calibrations that go beyond rankings; facilitate deep discussions on talent density to ensure every team has the high-performers needed to win.
Coach managers on delivering radical candor and high-impact feedback, ensuring underperformance is addressed with urgency and top talent is aggressively challenged and rewarded.
Help leaders "bring people along" with clear communication plans, ensuring technical teams understand the business context and the "why" behind strategic shifts.
Be the "pulse" of the technical org, identifying friction points in the employee experience and building "scrappy" programs to keep the ship rising.
Navigate complex personnel situations with judgment and discretion, prioritizing the health of the organization, the team, and the mission.
