Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of our most important customer problems and ship critical product improvements
  • Build and scale a senior engineering team from 7 to 15+ over the next 6 months
  • Set culture, define technical direction, and establish what great execution looks like
  • Support strategic growth initiatives like global expansion and more (e.g., Okta, RBAC, audit logs)
  • Balance people management with hands-on IC work, especially as we grow

Qualifications

  • 6–8+ years of full stack engineering experience, with 2–4+ years managing engineers
  • Strong technical depth and a track record of leading senior-level ICs (Senior, Staff)
  • Proven ability to recruit, scale, and inspire engineering teams
  • You lead by example and aren’t afraid to dive into the code when it matters

Bonus points

  • You’ve worked at early-stage startups or helped scale one
  • You’ve built systems for scale (multi-region, enterprise-grade, secure by design)
  • You’re entrepreneurial — maybe you’ve even started something before

Compensation

  • Base: $200–250K
  • Equity: 0.75%+
  • Benefits: Competitive healthcare, unlimited PTO, team offsites, and more

Interview Process

  • Product call — How would you improve products you’ve built? How would you improve Complete?
