Tip
Looking for an experienced, hands-on engineering leader?
Do you need a problem solver and solutions developer who also helps to develop and nurture a fun company culture? Would your team benefit by having an established engineering leader with a servant leadership management style? Do you value a leader with a long and successful history working with earlier stage startups, four of which went on to IPO?
