What's the opportunity?

Fin is the #1 AI agent for customer service. It resolves over 1M customer conversations every week, and we're just getting started. We're inventing paradigms that didn't exist six months ago and discovering entirely new problem spaces every time we push the technology further.

This role sits within the Service Agent pillar: 12 teams and growing, building every capability that makes Fin work. You'll own 1-2 of the most strategically significant work streams in the pillar. These aren't static teams with stable roadmaps. We re-evaluate priorities at the pillar level constantly, spinning up and down work streams and dynamic teams to solve whatever matters most right now. The teams you lead six months in may look nothing like the ones you start with. You need to be okay with that.

The competitive landscape is intense. Fast-moving AI-native startups are shipping aggressively and going after the same deals we are. We need someone who thrives under that pressure and can maintain high standards while moving at startup speed.

What will you do?

You'll own strategically significant work streams end-to-end. You're accountable for outcomes, not just delivery cadence or team health, but whether the work actually moved the needle.

This is not a role for facilitators. You will be on the front line: deeply understanding the product, the problem, and the context. Sometimes that means writing code yourself. Sometimes it means doing the analysis, or driving cross-functional collaboration, or force-multiplying someone on your team who's stuck. There is a straight line between your work and the impact being delivered. You lead from the front.

We regularly spin up new work streams around emerging priorities. You'll bring together engineers who've never worked as a team, set high expectations, build momentum under aggressive timelines, and drive execution. Then the shape of your teams may change again. That's the job.

You'll develop senior engineers into leaders. We don't need someone who mentors juniors on the basics. We need someone who accelerates staff and senior engineers, who gives direct, actionable feedback that changes outcomes, and who grows the leadership capacity of the people around them.

You'll partner with the Engineering Director on pillar-level strategy. Where should we invest more? Where are we falling behind? What should we defund? You bring these opinions, backed by what you're seeing on the ground.

And you'll do all of this in an AI-first engineering culture. Every engineer has Claude Code with unlimited tokens and a sophisticated ecosystem of MCP servers, skills, and shared context. You'll push the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development, both personally and through how you set up your teams.

What are we looking for?

The most important thing: you need to be an exceptional people leader AND personally action-oriented. Not one or the other. We don't want managers who are great with people but distant fr
