What You’ll Do?Probably, start by auditing everything and telling us where we should begin? 🙂Here are the things we already have in mind:Audit our existing architecture and decide what to rebuild vs. refactorBuild, coach and grow a modern engineering team for the AI eraSet technical standards, systems, and deployment practicesCollaborate directly with the CEO on product strategy and prioritiesWork closely with our AI Coach and product teams to bring new features to lifeMake technical decisions with a long-term ownership mindsetEnsure speed, reliability, and scalability across the entire platformAnd do everything else needed to shape ChessMood’s next stage of growtYOU MIGHT BE THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU HAVE…Love and deep interest in chess! We’re serving an audience of 600+ million chess players. The deeper your interest in chess, the more first-hand empathy can go into our product, and the domain knowledge will help you to work effectively with our in-house GMs and IMs as we build our AI coach.Experience and pragmatism with AI-written code. We want to be efficient and nimble as we scale. As frontier LLMs continue to improve, you’ll be iterating how our team uses Cursor / GitHub Copilot / Windsurf (etc.), to manage its downsides but also take advantage of its appropriate use cases.Emotional intelligence with strong communication skills. You’ll be working with lots of us - engineers, the CEO, and cross-functional peers - and so it’ll help if you can communicate and build relationships across all areas.Ideally: full-stack competency. Whilst we might grow our team with specialists, you’ll be hands-on across our stack at the start - so you’ll need to know enough to be able to make architectural decisions, create sensible prompts and verify outputs.❌YOU SHOULD SKIP THIS IF…- You’re not into chess- You prefer being a lone wolf instead of building a team - You’re looking for a standard 9–5 office job with a task list 😍 Why You’ll Love Working Here Customer love and product pride.
