Basis is looking for an Engineering Leader to help the Platform team succeed. As a hands-on leader, you'll drive impact at the company level, build and grow the team, and elevate the craft.
Requirements
- Drive impact at the company level
- Translate company priorities into clear technical goals for the platform team
- Anticipate scaling, cost, and reliability challenges before they become problems
- Make tradeoffs that serve our long-term mission, not just immediate needs
- Hire, mentor, and develop exceptional engineers
- Create an environment where people feel challenged, supported, and proud of their work
- Stay deeply technical: design architectures, review critical code, and set standards for performance and reliability
- Push for simple, elegant systems with clear boundaries between components
- Continuously improve our processes (recruiting, onboarding, incident response, project planning) so the organization scales smoothly
