Head of Engineering - Laguna Beach - ListLab
Description
We're hiring a Head of Engineering.
Summary
Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
Flexible Time: Can do full‑time, part‑time, side‑gig (off‑hours), or fractional (contract).
Flexible Commitment: Can do short‑term, long‑term, or intermittent.
Why so flexible?
We're a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in, help us ship, then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long‑term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into - in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full‑time learning‑curve hours.
About Us
We're a credible, funded, remote‑first startup led by a serial [technical] founder, and backed by a 20‑person team. The product is live in private alpha.
Learn more about our founder, team, and comp structures at list-.
About The Role
Can be a purely management role or a hands‑on coding + management hybrid. Either way, you must be deeply fluent in Rails and React — strong enough to spot‑check code quality and call BS on padded estimates or sandbagged velocity.
Compensation
Up to $400,000 max total compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated (amount reflects combined cash and equity components).
What Success Looks Like In 30 Days
Many devs are currently using AI to achieve the same outcome with 70% less work. We want you to achieve the opposite: same effort, higher velocity.
