Mav is a product-led company, and our platform is at the heart of everything we do. We’re looking for a Head of Engineering with a growth mindset who wants a broad scope of ownership in a fast-growing, post-product-market fit startup. You’ll work closely with the Founder/CEO (who is also an engineer), Head of Product, and a small, but growing, team of Engineers.
We’re headquartered in the Arts District of Las Vegas, where you’ll join us in-office and enjoy our unique culture—house music, energy drinks, coffee and good vibes.
Own the technical vision and architecture of our Ruby on Rails platform, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability.
Attend product planning meetings with the CEO and Head of Product, contributing to feature scoping, technical decisions, and overall product roadmap.
Lead hands-on development (front-end and back-end) alongside a small, fast-moving team.
Oversee DevOps, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and production environments (Heroku, AWS, etc.).
Identify and fix bottlenecks, bugs, and other issues to keep the platform running smoothly.
Hire, mentor, and grow the engineering team, creating a supportive, high-performance culture.
Collaborate with design, product, and other stakeholders to deliver product features on time.
Maintain strong coding standards and best practices in testing, QA, and documentation.
8+ years of experience developing web applications in Ruby on Rails, including hands-on coding for production environments.
Prior experience as a Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, or Head of Engineering at a startup (or similarly fast-paced environment).
Familiarity with our stack: MongoDB, Redis, RSpec, Sidekiq, Webpacker, TypeScript.
Comfortable managing infrastructure (Heroku, AWS) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions).
Able to balance big-picture leadership with day-to-day coding and troubleshooting.
Experience hiring and mentoring engineers; passionate about fostering growth and collaboration.
Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for delivering maintainable, scalable solutions.
Join a product-led, post-PMF startup with big ambitions and supportive backers.
Full ownership over technical decisions and the engineering roadmap.
Work directly with an engineering-driven CEO and the Head of Product to shape our product’s future.
Fast-moving environment where your contributions make a direct impact on customers and the company’s trajectory.
Meaningful equity, competitive compensation, and benefits.
