REPORTS TO:YourgiChief Product and Technology Officer

PAY:$250,000 - $275,000/ Salary+ Bonus

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:

The engineering organization

• Own how teams are shaped and howwork flows, so each team owns a customer journey end to end and can ship without waiting on the others.

• Build technical leadership depth. Name owners for cross-cutting decisions, document the engineering strategy, and grow leads who run their teams independently.

AI-first delivery

• Make AI-assisted development the default: AI in the standard workflow from spec to code to review, with automated test generation and evals wired into continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). Track the impact at the team level: cycle time and throughput against a pre-adoption baseline.

• Set the standards and review practices that keep the codebase coherent and secure as AI raises code volume.

Engineering-owned quality

• Build a culture where engineers own quality end to end, with automated testing and CI/CD carrying the load.

• Make engineering health measurable: bug frequency, change-failure rate, on-call load, uptime, and time-to-merge, tracked quarter over quarter so the org can see its own trend.

YourgiConnect and platform scale

• Own the technical plan forYourgiConnect: real-time availability, reservation, and booking against a national network of physical centers, built so adding a marketdoesn'tmean rebuilding.

• Turn shared backend capability into platform services the product teams consume, so each new surface launches faster than the last.

Delivery rhythm and metrics

• Own the operating cadence and release train (continuous deployment, feature flags, a rotating release captain, on-call) that lets teams ship independently, and put the DORA delivery metrics (deploy frequency, lead time, change-failure rate, time to restore) in front of leadership.

• Partner with Product so engineeringleadsco-own acceptance criteria andownthe technical breakdown.

People, budget, and tooling

• Own hiring, leveling, growth, and performance. Build the management bench, with individual-contributor and manager tracks that give strong engineers a path.

• Own the budget and toolingspend, invested deliberately across talent and modern tooling.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

Must-haves

• 12+ years in software engineering, including 6+ years leading engineering organizations through managers and leads, not only managing individual contributors directly

• A track recordof building teams that own a product surface end to end, decompose their own work, and grow with the business

• Direct experience adopting AI-assisted development across a team, and a clear point of view on how it changes throughput, review practices, and quality

• A record of building engineering-owned quality: shifting it upstream through automated testing and CI/CD so teams own it

• Experience running remote engineering teams, with the operating rhythm that keeps delivery predictable

• Ownership of an engineering budget and headcount plan, fluency making tradeoffs with Product and Finance, and the operating discipline to run on delivery and reliability metrics (DORA or equivalent)

• Located in and authorized to work in the US (no visa sponsorship), available during regular US business hours

Preferred Skills

• Has scaled AI-assisted development across a full engineering team, with the review and quality gates that make it work

• Marketplace, gig-economy, or consumer-app experience, and familiarity with two-sided matching and booking dynamics

• Mobile and web at scale, including native app release management (release trains, feature flags, staged rollout)

• Platform or core-servicesthinking:turning shared backend capability into an internal product the front-end teams consume

• Experience taking a 0-to-1 product from first markets to national scale

What Success Looks Like

First 30-60 days

• A clear point of view on how the organization should grow, socialized, with the first moves planned and sequenced so delivery keeps moving

• Metrics baseline in place (deploy frequency, lead time to change, change-failure rate, time to restore), so the org has a shared read on where it stands

• Named owners for cross-cutting technical decisions, and a clear picture of where the leadership bench needs to deepen

First90 days

• The first team is owning its customer journey end to end, with engineering leads co-owning acceptance criteria alongside product

• AI-assisted development is the default in the standard workflow, with team-level cycle time and throughput measured against the baseline

• Automated testing and CI/CD carry more of the quality load, and change-failure rate is trending down

• YourgiConnect has a technical plan through national scale, and the team is shipping against it

BENEFITS & PERKS:

• Health, vision, dental, long- & short-term disability, and life insurance

• A startup mentality with stable funding

• 401(k) match

• Pet care discounts

• Flexible time off

• The opportunity to shape and lead an engineering organization asYourgiConnect scales nationally
