Central Engineering Leader

Central kills back-office work for startups.

While HR / payroll platforms give you software to figure it out, Central actually does all the work using AI agents and human experts : payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes, and more.

That's 10+ hours back every month. Thousands of founders trust Central, including high-growth companies like Magic Patterns, Wordware, and Bitesight.

Why Central?

Founders start companies to solve problems and build something that matters. Not to become HR managers.

Yet here we are in 2025. Despite countless $10B+ 'solutions', founders are still drowning in back-office bullshit.

Why? Because every platform was built for HR professionals, not founders.

Today, every founder still has to : Register in multiple states. Set up workers' comp. Categorize expenses. Decipher government letters. Pay invoices. Update addresses. Manage equity. Troubleshoot insurance. Answer PTO questions. The list never ends.

What a waste of time. But what's worse is the constant anxiety : What am I missing? Did I do this right? Will I get fined?

What founders need isn't another tool they have to learn and manage, but something that actually does the work. All of it.

As a founding member, you'll have a seat at the table and help Central scale to serve thousands of companies and founders.

Our Culture

Central is a high-performance sports team with an extremely high bar and 3 core values :

  • Think clearly
  • Show high agency
  • Craft magic

What you'll do

  • Scale the team : Grow Central's engineering org from a small, founder-led group to a 20+ person team. Recruit, develop, and retain exceptional engineers and leaders who raise the bar.
  • Establish engineering culture : Define and model the values, rituals, and practices that make Central's engineering org world-class. Build a strong, cohesive culture across a fully remote team.
  • Drive execution at scale : Ensure the team consistently delivers ambitious projects quickly and reliably. Create processes that enable speed, clarity, and accountability as headcount grows.
  • Develop leaders : Mentor engineers into tech leads and managers. Build a leadership bench that can own domains and drive execution as the org expands.
  • Partner cross-functionally : Work closely with the founders, product, design, and operations to ensure engineering is aligned with business goals and delivering customer impact.
  • Design the org for growth : Define roles, career paths, and structures that let us scale smoothly to 20+ engineers while maintaining velocity and quality.
  • Who you are

  • Experienced org builder : You've scaled engineering teams from small to 20+ (or beyond), putting in place the right people, structure, and culture at each stage.
  • Remote team scaler : You know how to build distributed teams that feel connected, productive, and high-trust.
  • Talent magnet : You've successfully hired top engineers and managers, and can "sell" candidates on joining by telling a compelling story of mission, impact, and culture.
  • Culture carrier : You set and reinforce high standards, create strong cultural alignment, and ensure engineering is a place where people do the best work of their careers.
  • Execution-oriented operator : You're skilled at translating vision into clear priorities, aligning teams, and shipping big projects quickly.
  • Company-first mindset : You thrive in a startup environment solving problems with limited resources, rolling up your sleeves when needed, and always prioritizing the company's success over ego.
  • What we offer

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Comprehensive benefits : Medical, dental, vision, 401k (US employees only)
  • Unlimited PTO and sick leave
  • Remote work
  • 2-4 off-sites per year
  • Note for US Roles : We do not provide visa sponsorship. You must be authorized to work in the U.S.
