What We're Looking For

• Hybrid Experience: 5+ years in software engineering with 2+ years in a leadership role (e.g., Engineering Manager, Team Lead, or a technical Product Manager).
• Domain Expertise: Direct, hands-on experience building and leading teams that manage identity, authentication (e.g., OAuth, JWT), or KYC/KYB systems is a huge advantage.
• Highly Technical: You must come from a strong engineering background (ideally with Node.js or similar) and be able to lead technical discussions on security, authentication, and database design.
• Product Mindset: You must have experience with product management fundamentals: creating roadmaps, managing backlogs, and making data-driven priority calls.
• People Leader: Demonstrable experience hiring, managing, and mentoring engineers.
• Legacy Systems Experience: You are not afraid of a brownfield project. You have experience planning and executing the migration of a critical legacy system.
• Communication: Excellent ability to articulate the "Why" to your team and report progress to the CTO.

What We Offer

• Foundational Leadership Role: A rare opportunity to build the most critical team (identity and security) from scratch, reporting directly to the CTO.
