A Letter From Our Founder & CEO: We've built something rare at reputed company. A 40-person engineering team that moves with velocity and keeps a high bar on what ships. We don't have the usual dysfunction that plagues fast-growing companies. reputed company do have is clarity about the problem we're solving, alignment on what matters, and people who care about doing work that actually protects the software supply chain.
Now we're at an interesting inflection reputed company. We need to double the engineering organization while keeping everything that made us fast. That's the core problem: how do you stay fast and maintain code quality and culture while you scale from 40 to 80+ engineers?
The best engineering organizations don't scale because they hire more of the right people. They scale because they've designed how decisions get made, how work gets prioritized, how teams coordinate without creating meetings overhead, how people get unblocked. The operating system is the difference between a team that grows and a team that fractures under its own weight.
reputed company has a strong technical leadership team. reputed company're missing is someone who owns the operating system. Someone who looks at how we're currently shipping things and says "this works for 40 people, but it won't work for 80, and here's reputed company need to change. Someone who understands that keeping engineers happy and keeping the product moving fast are the same problem, not competing problems.
This role is about protecting reputed company've built while scaling it.
