📍 Location : NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.

Your mission

Own the system of project management at Basis. We are a team that ships extremely fast, but also systematically - and as we grow we need more organization, structure, systems so we can build a machine. That's your job.

Oh and not just the machine today, what does an extremely high performing engineering team shipping system look like in 2027?

What you’ll actually do

• Process architect, not project owner

• You might run some especially complex projects, but the crux of your responsibility is empowering everyone to run their own projects

• Gather real-time feedback from founders, technical staff, customer facing team, etc; tune the playbook continuously

• Educate & coach

• With lots of new tooling and AI-based processes, people will need to learn. It's your job to make that happen

• Tooling & automation

• Prototype AI-driven process that leverage agents from start to finish of product development (we'll help you build it)

• Retire anything that adds friction

• Keep an eye on frontier LLM/agent capabilities and fold wins into the stack regularly

• Lead team updates

• Lead state of union at all-hands

• Broadcast launch calendars, blockers, and post-mortem insights so everyone sees around corners

• Continuous improvement culture

• Facilitate retros, feedback sessions etc. to constantly help everyone improve

Does this sound like you?

• Have experience building & enforcing process in extremely high growth / low process orgs. Ones where headcount has 5x'd+
• Prefer enabling many owners over being the owner; instinctively ask “How can 10x more happen with 1/10th oversight?
• Treat workflow tools like Linear, Retool, Notion etc. as building blocks, not limits; comfortable scripting quick hacks to remove manual work
• Speaking of, constantly, constantly use LLMs for your own work and have the instinct to have them help you with everything
• Default to first-principles thinking: you’re designing for 2027’s AI-native workflows, not 2017’s agile ceremonies
• Thrive in an in-person, high-intensity environment; willing to do whatever’s necessary to keep the machine humming.
