We just announced our $3M Pre-Seed. Watch our — launch video.
This is a high-impact role that comes with significant autonomy and requires a self-driven, strategic, and collaborative leader. You will own product development across the full stack — from our Go back-end and Rust parsing layer to our Vue/TypeScript front-end.
What you'll do
Own AllSpice's product development roadmap in close partnership with the CTO and Product Management
Make architectural decisions that balance speed, scalability, and technical quality across multiple teams
Align engineering priorities with business goals and customer needs, translating product requirements into clear technical plans
Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions and manage technical debt strategically
Oversee and mentor ~5 technical team leads, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Hire, develop, and retain top engineering talent as the organization scales
Set team goals, define development processes, and drive operational cadence (sprints, standups, retrospectives)
Create growth paths for individual contributors and managers alike
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and incident response when needed
Serve as the primary connector between technical teams (Platform, Parsing, GenAI, Front-end), facilitating alignment and removing blockers
Partner closely with Infrastructure to ensure smooth deployments, performance, and reliability of production systems
Work with Customer Success and Sales to understand customer pain points and feed insights back into the development process
Represent Engineering in cross-functional planning, providing realistic timelines and trade-off analysis
Jump in with engineers to debug, prototype, and solve complex problems when needed — especially in areas spanning multiple teams
Drive end-to-end web performance analysis and optimization across the stack
Maintain a high standard of technical quality through architecture guidance, code review, and mentorship
Engage with open-source communities used in our software to upstream relevant changes and influence key decisions
Analyze and improve end-to-end web performance: from server response times through rendering of complex CAD documents (100k+ elements)
Lead the development of a 3D rendering engine for PCBs
Architect scalable APIs and data models for CAD documents stored in Git repositories
Drive expansion of ECAD format support (e.g., LTSpice, KiCad, additional formats)
Guide the GenAI/DRCY team on integrating AI-powered design review deeper into the product, including PCB analysis and extended knowledge repositories
Oversee implementation of cross-probing between schematic and PCB views
Improve the snippet and diff rendering pipeline for accuracy and performance
AllSpice is a platform for electronics teams to collaborate and automate workflows, powered by an AI agent for hardware design validation, enhancing accuracy and efficiency, and helping engineers ship with confidence through streamlined collaboration and validation.
