Head of Engineering

We are seeking an experienced Head of Engineering to lead Distro’s growing tech team.

The primary job description is “get things done/make sure things get done”. Key traits are an ownership mentality, clear communication, accountability, and reliability. The candidate must have prior experience managing and delegating to engineers.

This role is hands-on and will involve a significant amount of coding for the foreseeable future (in addition to running standups, managing projects, etc.) but will over time gravitate more towards a 70/30% coding/non-coding split depending on the candidate.

Professional experience in the platform portion of our tech stack (Next.js/React, TypeScript, MongoDB) is crucial. Additional professional experience in AI/ML frameworks is very-nice-to-have, but at least a strong interest and desire to learn is a requirement. Bonus points for infra/devOps experience.

Bay Area candidates strongly preferred.
