Exceptional Leadership:

• Low ego, low drama, servant leader: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
• One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above yourself and your team alone.
• Great listener, hungry for feedback: You're always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
• Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
• Player-coach: You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this by proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details.
• Business problem solver: You're not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive architectural decisions and technical strategy for key platform initiatives.
• Design and implement core platform capabilities that power our AI-driven talent matching.

System Design & Implementation:

• Architect and build scalable systems that handle complex matching algorithms and marketplace dynamics.
• Design and implement AI-powered features that enhance our talent evaluation and matching capabilities.
• Create robust, maintainable solutions that can scale with our global user base.

• Strong background in distributed systems and scalable architectures.
• Experience building and scaling marketplace platforms or similar complex systems.
• A track record of making significant technical decisions that impacted product direction.
• Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical excellence.
• Strong understanding of AI concepts and their practical applications.
• Excellence in written and verbal communication, particularly in technical contexts.
• While the team is distributed across the world, this role is US-based.
• Experience with AI/ML platform development.
• Background in talent matching algorithms or recommendation systems.
• Experience with large-scale data processing and analytics.
• Familiarity with global compliance and data privacy requirements.
• A track record of publishing technical content or speaking at conferences.
