Requirements

You are a builder. You get your hands in code, you prototype, you ship.
You show up with PRs, not slides.
You've built platforms that other teams depend on and you know what it takes to earn adoption through excellence.
Your teams respect you for your technical grasp.
You've built and scaled teams.
You know how to hire, develop people, and make hard calls.
You've led distributed teams and know what breaks when you scale.
You've seen different stages — what works at 10 doesn't work at 100, and you've learned that firsthand.
Your success is measured by what your teams ship.
You have deep technical roots.
You can have a technical conversation with a data scientist or ML engineer without pulling someone else in.
You've likely come from an MLE or ML-adjacent background and understand the friction between engineering and data science because you've lived on both sides.
You move fast. You ship value in weeks, not quarters.
You're comfortable with explicit tech debt cycles; working solution first, best solution later.
You are willing to be in the warehouse, do customer service, or ship code regardless of level.
Boots on the ground is a key pillar of how we operate.
