SOUND LIKE YOU?
- Experience: You have 10+ years of experience contributing to engineering teams including 2+ years of experience leading teams.
- Hands-on Leadership: Our managers act as CTOs. You are hands on. You sometimes take the player/coach role. You drive technology choices, you review PR on a daily basis, you occasionally jump & code yourself. You drive incidents may they arise. You drive ceremonies: grooming, sizing, planning & execution. You have the ability to work at different altitude.
- Technologist: You're naturally curious & your curiosity is not limited to a specific stack. You embrace technology as a wide space. Enthusiast or cautiously optimistic, you know AI is revolutionizing both how we work & the experiences we create for our customers. Driven by passion & curiosity, you embrace technology to up-level your team's productivity & impact, creating delight, delivering exceptional quality, & embracing the extraordinary in everything you do.
- User Empathy: You dont just build software that works you build experiences that feel magical. You sweat the small stuff, especially the details that shape how our product looks, feels, & performs in the hands of our users. You understand that micro-interactions, visual polish, & perceived speed are not nice to have, they are core to the experience. You work closely with Design & Product to uphold a high-quality bar from pixel-perfect UI to graceful edge-case handling. You push for elegant solutions, even when they require extra effort, because you know the user will feel the difference.
- Grit: Competition won't wait & strong execution makes a significant difference. You have high level of decisiveness & you do not wait to get things done. You have courage, passion, & the ability to persevere towards challenging goals. You are comfortable in a fast-paced environment & are agile enough to shift your focus to what is most important for our customers. Your work ethic stands out.
- Bias to Action: You move with urgency not recklessness. You understand that speed compounds, & that forward motion beats perfect planning. You take decisive steps even when the path isnt fully clear, trusting that momentum fuels clarity. You break inertia, test assumptions, & ship to learn. You dont wait for perfect data or perfect alignment you act, learn, & iterate quickly. As an engineering leader, you model a culture where action unlocks insight. You empower your team to move fast & own the consequences, creating fast feedback loops between idea, execution, & outcome. When progress stalls, you unblock. When ambiguity reigns, you narrow the decision space. Because at Superhuman, velocity isnt a nice-to-have its how we win.
- Start-to-finish Ownership: You take full responsibility not just for the code your team ships, but for the outcomes it drives. You think like a CTO: zooming out to see the business impact, zooming in to notice when the details are off. You dont stop at done you stop when it works, when its shipped, when its adopted, & when the result moves the needle for our users & our company. You dont hand off problems. You dont assume someone else will catch what you missed. You chase ambiguity, collapse blockers, & hold the bar high until the last mile. You know that great teams dont just build features they deliver results & you make sure that happens. At Superhuman, your ownership is visible in the confidence we have in you: when something is in your hands, we know it will get done, & get done right.
- Cares deeply, challenges directly: You bring radical candor to every interaction: direct, clear, & always in service of excellence. You push hard on ideas, not people because you care deeply about the craft, the customer, & the company. You speak up early & often, surfacing dissent, probing assumptions, & sharpening decisions through thoughtful debate. You hold your peers & stakeholders accountable to impact not activity & challenge them to aim higher when needed. You also know when the conversation is over. When your point has been heard, you align behind the decision with full commitment, even if you disagreed. You create a culture where tension is healthy, feedback is expected, & psychological safety is preserved because you know that true collaboration happens when people feel safe and challenged.
