The role We're looking for former technical founders who want to get back to building. If you've experienced the thrill of 0 to 1 — the chaos, the ownership, the outsized impact — and you're hungry to do it again inside a rocketship, this is the role for you. At Encord, you won't be a cog in a machine. You'll work directly with the founding team, take on high-stakes problems, and help shape the trajectory of the company. We don't care which box you fit into — we care about what you're capable of building. What you'll do - Work closely with the cofounders to identify and drive some of the highest-leverage opportunities across product, engineering, GTM, or operations - Take ownership of ambitious, ambiguous problems and drive them from zero to shipped - Bring an entrepreneurial mindset to everything — spotting gaps, moving fast, and making things happen with limited resources - Build internal tools, processes, and systems t
