📋 Description

• Manage and grow engineering leads for Merchants Core and Merchants Growth • Run 1:1s, set goals, provide feedback, and develop your team • Own hiring for your teams — source, interview, and close strong engineers • Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and direct communication • Own architectural decisions across billing, invoicing, checkout, dashboard, and the delivery promise engine • Write and review RFCs for non-trivial features — set the bar for how engineering decisions are made • Review AI-generated and human-written code with equal rigor — you understand every line that ships • Drive the evolution of Burq's merchant experience toward a full enterprise delivery platform • Own sprint health, backlog quality, and delivery predictability across both teams • Ensure KTLO (Keep the Lights On) work — billing reliability, notification infrastructure, account management — always has a home and never loses to feature pressure • Partner closely with the Merchants PM and designer to translate product strategy into engineering roadmaps • Maintain a clear boundary between Core (reliability, billing, KTLO) and Growth (product, promise engine, features) • Work directly with the Head of Engineering on org structure, hiring plans, and technical strategy • Collaborate with Customer Success on merchant operational pain — Core is the team closest to that surface • Partner with the Data team on financial reconciliation and analytics infrastructure

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of engineering experience, including 2+ years managing engineering teams • Proven track record managing multiple teams or a team of teams simultaneously • Architect-caliber technical depth — you can make and own hard decisions on billing systems, API design, and product infrastructure • Experience with Node.js/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Stripe (or equivalent payment infrastructure) • Comfortable at a high-growth startup — priorities change, you adapt without losing momentum • Player-coach mindset — you lead by example and can get hands dirty when the team needs it • Strong communicator with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary, stock options, and performance-based bonuses • Fully remote • Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance
