The role
As a Lead Software Engineer, you own meaningful parts of the product end to end: you design them, build them, ship them, and keep them running. You'll work in the systems at the heart of the coach — the AI and agent logic, the services behind it, the data it depends on — and you'll make the day-to-day architecture and trade-off calls within your domain. You'll do this with a high degree of autonomy, and you'll help raise the bar for the engineers around you. Comfort with ambiguity matters here: the work rarely arrives fully specified.
