Own Engineering. Shape the Product. Build What's Next.

About ReasonLabs

At ReasonLabs, we're building Mozo, an AI-powered consumer product designed to protect people from online scams and fraud in real time.

With deep cybersecurity expertise, proprietary technology, and years of consumer threat data, we're tackling a problem that is becoming increasingly complex as AI changes the way online fraud works.

We're a lean, experienced team building a product where AI, cybersecurity, and consumer technology come together.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an experienced engineering leader to take full ownership of engineering for Mozo.

This is a role for someone who wants to lead an entire engineering function, not just manage a team or a specific technology.

You'll work directly with our CEO and lead a small, highly capable, multidisciplinary engineering organization spanning AI, Backend, Infrastructure, and Mobile.

You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, shape engineering priorities, develop strong technical leaders, and drive execution from product strategy to production.

We're not looking for someone to add management layers. We're looking for someone who can bring clarity, sound judgment, and strong execution while keeping the speed and ownership of a startup.

What You'll Own

• Lead the engineering organization, including experienced technical leaders across AI, Backend, Infrastructure, and Mobile.
• Take end-to-end ownership of engineering execution, delivery, quality, and reliability.
• Partner closely with Product, Research, and Business to shape priorities and turn product strategy into results.
• Make engineering and architectural decisions, balancing speed, scalability, quality, and business impact.
• Build and develop a strong engineering team, fostering accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Drive the development of AI-powered capabilities that create real value for consumers.
• Establish the right processes and engineering practices without slowing the team down.
• Work closely with the CEO as the engineering leader responsible for moving the product forward.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading engineering teams and technical leaders, with real ownership of delivery, people, and engineering outcomes.
• Strong background in product engineering, ideally in a startup or fast-moving product environment.
• Experience leading multiple engineering disciplines and making decisions across different technical domains.
• Strong technical judgment and the ability to challenge architectural decisions, even when you're not writing code yourself.
• A product mindset, with the ability to connect engineering decisions to user experience and business outcomes.
• Experience working closely with product leadership and senior management.
• An independent, pragmatic leadership style, with the confidence to make decisions and the humility to work with strong specialists.
• A builder mentality and a genuine interest in leading a lean, high-impact engineering organization.

Nice to Have

• Experience building or leading AI-powered products or engineering teams working with AI/ML.
• Background in Consumer, Fintech, Fraud Prevention, Identity, Trust & Safety, or Cybersecurity products.
• Experience across Mobile, Cloud, Backend, or large-scale consumer systems.
• Previous experience as a Head of Engineering, Director, VP Engineering, or CTO in a product company.

Why This Role?

Because you'll have the opportunity to own something meaningful.

You'll lead engineering for a strategic product, work directly with the CEO, influence both technical and product decisions, and help shape how the organization evolves.

The team is intentionally lean, the technical challenges are real, and the impact of your decisions will be visible.

If you've already led engineering teams and are looking for broader ownership, more autonomy, and a closer connection between technology, product, and business, we'd love to talk.
