As Chief of Staff to the CTO, you will be a high-agency generalist working directly with the CTO to own the product strategy and execution that connects customer needs to engineering delivery. This is a hybrid role based in New York City with four days per week in-office.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own the complete product loop: conduct customer discovery and call reviews, translate feedback into prioritized specifications, and drive features from definition through launch and adoption.
- Run engineering cadence with the CTO: manage cycle planning, maintain the priorities document, ensure Linear accuracy, and own release readiness including QA checklists, dogfooding, and ship decisions.
- Own customer health metrics: define and track new-user retention, stickiness, and account health on analytics dashboards; build warning systems for at-risk accounts and lead initiatives to improve lagging metrics.
- Serve as the technical voice for customers: triage support escalations, close action items from customer calls, and lead the technical portions of demos and trials.
- Build with AI: prototype fixes, internal tools, and integrations using AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor; ship solutions in days rather than sprints.
The role sits at the intersection of product, engineering operations, and customer success. You will learn how a company scales by working directly alongside the CTO and will have high ownership over product direction and execution.
Qualifications:
- AI maximalist: proficient with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools; demonstrated track record of shipping real products using AI coding tools.
- Proven shipping experience: have launched a product to real users, either through founding a startup, building on a small team, or working as a forward-deployed or solutions engineer.
- Technical foundation: able to read code, debug failing integrations, and communicate effectively with engineers; formal CS degree not required.
- Strong written communication: ability to write clearly so that both customer IT leads and engineers understand and act on the same documentation.
- High agency and learning velocity: learn quickly, chase feedback, and demonstrate the capability to eventually run a company.
- U.S. citizenship required: this role works inside customer environments subject to export controls.
- Able to work in-person in New York City four days per week.
Nice to have: founding experience, side projects with real users, or government/GovCon domain background (not required; domain training provided).
