- Owning technical hiring and code quality from Day 1
- Managing rapid iteration cycles without over-engineering
- Partnering closely with the Co-founder to prioritize roadmap and user insights
- Keeping Hero AI-native, fast, and execution-led
Ideal Candidate Profile

- Obsessive about clean UX, performance, and user value
- Past founder, founding engineer, or lead builder in startup environment
- Bonus: built products in recruiting, marketplaces, or HR tech
