Head of Engineering

Distro
Palo Alto, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/3/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/2/2025

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

Do you have the skills to fill this role Read the complete details below, and make your application today.

The primary job description is to “get things done / make sure things get done”. Key traits include 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 are strongly preferred.
