The Company
This company is tackling a hard problem: making movement genuinely fun for the vast majority of people fitness has never reached. Their core product is in VR, with new bets forming in wearable AI and AR glasses. These are zero-to-one builds, with no established playbook.
The Role Description
You'll join the senior leadership team, shaping company and product direction, not just executing it. This isn't a'maintain the machine' VP Eng role; it's about building the machine, and the AI-driven way of building it, simultaneously. You'll lead a lean team of 11 engineers, coaching through the work, occasionally shipping code on early prototypes without sitting on the critical path.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Raise product velocity through ambitious AI leverage. This means validation processes for safe AI use, restructuring applications and infra, and assigning tickets to cloud agents.
- Lead and develop a fully remote engineering team of 11. Coach through the work, not from a distance.
- Drive the technical vision for zero-to-one builds in wearable AI and AR glasses, extending a core VR product.
- Sit on the senior leadership team. Shape company and product strategy.
- Occasionally ship or review code on early prototypes. Stay hands-on without being on the critical path.
What You Bring
- You've held a company-wide leadership role: VP Engineering, CTO, Director of Engineering, or Technical Co-Founder. You drive change and think like a product leader.
- You've shipped a consumer tech product, ideally in games, fitness, wellness, wearables, or habit formation.
- AI has genuinely transformed your personal or professional development workflow. This is not a nice-to-have; it's core.
- Strong backend engineering experience, particularly building frameworks and reusable components for other engineers on platform-like teams.
- You've worked in lean, fully remote teams and have strong opinions on what makes them work.
