Founding Engineering Leader & Head of Engineering

🚀 About Reva We're revolutionizing workplace mental health. Reva is an enterprise AI mental-wellness platform that helps organizations proactively support their teams' mental health at scale. We provide multi-modal AI therapy (text, voice, image), real-time emotional insight, and culturally-aware support in Arabic, English, Russian, and Hindi.

Our HR-facing dashboards provide anonymized workforce analytics (burnout signals, stress trends) by integrating with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Jira to map stress to actual workload.

💼 The Role: Build Our Engineering Team from Scratch You will be our first engineering hire and technical leader. This is a rare opportunity to build your dream team, define the culture, and set the technical vision from day one.

This is a 70% leadership, 30% hands-on technical role. You will hire and mentor a world-class team of core engineers (Backend, AI/ML, MLOps) and manage our external contractors (Frontend, iOS, Android, UI/UX).

You will set the technical vision, establish our engineering culture and processes, and make critical architectural decisions—but you won't be writing production code daily.

🎯 Key Responsibilities

• Team Building & Hiring (Priority #1): Hire and lead the core engineering team (Backend, AI/ML, MLOps).
• Technical Leadership & Architecture: Set the technical vision for our multi-tenant, enterprise-grade platform. Design secure integrations (Google, Microsoft, Slack, Jira), data isolation, and privacy-preserving analytics.
• Engineering Culture & Processes: Establish our engineering best practices: code reviews, sprint planning (in Linear), testing strategy, documentation standards, and a security-first mindset.
• Platform & Infrastructure: Oversee our enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure (led by your MLOps hire), ensuring reliability, scalability, and security (HIPAA-ready, GDPR, SOC 2).

🎓 What We're Looking For (Must-Haves)

• 10+ years in software engineering with 4+ years in engineering management or tech lead roles.
• Team Leadership: Proven track record building and managing high-performing engineering teams (3-8 engineers).
• Hiring Expertise: Successfully recruited, interviewed, and built teams from scratch.
• Technical Depth: Strong background in backend systems (Go/Python), cloud infrastructure (AWS), and distributed systems.
• Multi-Tenant Architecture: Experience designing and implementing SaaS platforms with data isolation.
• Enterprise Software: Understanding of enterprise requirements (SSO, SCIM, audit logs, SLAs, compliance).
• Startup Experience: Thrived in fast-paced, 0-to-1 ambiguous environments.
• Excellent Communication: Can explain complex topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.

🌟 Nice-to-Haves

• AI/ML experience (LLMs, RAG, vector databases).
• Healthcare/mental health experience (HIPAA, PHI).
• HR tech / B2B SaaS experience.
• Experience with enterprise integrations (OAuth, SAML, SCIM).

You are absolutely right. Apologies for that oversight. You should never post your specific stack publicly in a job ad. It's a security and competitive risk.

Here is a much better, more professional, and safer "Tech Environment" section that replaces the specific stack.

🛠️ Our Tech Environment

You will be leading the architecture of a modern, cloud-native platform. Our environment is built on:

• Backend Services: Go and Python microservices
• AI & ML: A multi-modal stack incorporating various LLMs, vector search, and RAG pipelines for text, voice, and image processing.
• Infrastructure: A containerized AWS environment managed with Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Data: Relational databases, in-memory caching, and vector databases.
• DevOps: A mature CI/CD culture for automated testing and deployment.

💰 Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• Meaningful equity options from our ESOP
• Fully Remote
• Flexible work environment
