Tea for Women Head of Engineering

Mission

At Tea, we're building technology that helps create safer online experiences for millions of women. As an early-stage company, we move quickly, solve difficult technical problems, and build products that have real-world impact.

We're looking for a Head of Engineering to lead our engineering organization through its next stage of growth, building both the technology and the team that will power the future of Tea.

About the Role

This is a permanent, full-time leadership position responsible for defining and executing Tea's engineering strategy.

As Head of Engineering, you'll oversee the engineering organization, establish technical direction, build and mentor high-performing teams, and partner closely with executive leadership to turn company priorities into scalable technical solutions.

While this is a leadership role, we're looking for someone who remains technically engaged. You'll stay close to the architecture, review critical technical decisions, contribute to system design, and jump into the codebase when appropriate. At our stage, leadership and technical credibility go hand in hand.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead and grow Tea's engineering organization, including hiring, mentoring, coaching, and performance management.
  • Define and execute the company's engineering strategy in partnership with executive leadership.
  • Establish engineering standards, development processes, and a culture of technical excellence.
  • Provide architectural leadership across backend systems, infrastructure, internal tooling, and customer-facing products.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Operations, and Leadership to align technical execution with business priorities.
  • Own engineering planning, resource allocation, and delivery across multiple initiatives.
  • Build scalable systems capable of supporting rapid user growth while maintaining reliability, security, and performance.
  • Remain technically engaged through architecture reviews, code reviews, technical design discussions, and hands-on development when appropriate.
  • Guide technical decision-making while balancing product velocity, long-term scalability, and operational excellence.
  • Recruit and retain exceptional engineering talent while building an inclusive, collaborative engineering culture.

Who You Are

  • You're an experienced engineering leader who enjoys building both technology and high-performing teams.
  • You lead with technical credibility and believe engineering leaders should remain closely connected to the systems their teams build.
  • You thrive in startup environments where ownership is high, priorities evolve quickly, and solutions often need to be created from first principles.
  • You're comfortable making strategic technical decisions while balancing speed, quality, and long-term scalability.
  • You communicate effectively with engineers, executives, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • You enjoy solving difficult technical challenges while empowering others to do their best work.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Previous experience leading engineering teams as a Head of Engineering, Engineering Director, Engineering Manager, or equivalent technical leadership role.
  • Demonstrated experience hiring, mentoring, and scaling engineering organizations.
  • Strong background in software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and modern web technologies.
  • Experience delivering complex software products from concept through production.
  • Strong understanding of engineering operations, development workflows, testing strategies, and system reliability.
  • Working knowledge of fundamental U.S. laws and regulatory considerations affecting software products, including privacy, security, and compliance.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.
  • Familiarity with AI-powered products, machine learning systems, or data platforms.

Nice to Have

  • Experience leading engineering through periods of hypergrowth.
  • Experience scaling products serving millions of users.
  • Experience with AWS and MongoDB.
  • Experience building globally distributed engineering teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
