Head of Engineering

COMPANY Tread is the AI-native operating system for the $660B construction materials logistics market: the aggregate, asphalt, and concrete behind every road, bridge, and building in the country. Our customers run the gamut: enterprise producers and contractors that supply the world's largest infrastructure projects, alongside the family-owned hauling fleets that have moved the material this work depends on for generations. They're the operators who actually build the roads, bridges, and buildings around us. Most of the work still happens on paper tickets, phone calls, and disconnected scale houses. We're building the software they run on. We crossed $1Bn in monthly delivered load value on the platform in March 2026. We’re at ~$XM ARR, and growing fast. Our enterprise customers reconcile real money, real freight, and real P&L against our data every day. Tread is the most important software they use. We’re a Series A company backed by Mucker Capital. We’re in growth mode. If you are fulfilled by ownership and a life-changing outcome, let’s connect. Role We’re looking for a hands-on engineering leader who can help define and operate the next generation of our AI-native engineering system, partnering directly with the CEO to evolve how software is built at Tread. You will partner directly with the CEO on building the category-defining operating system for construction materials logistics. The team you lead today is under 10 engineers shipping at aggressive velocity. We're investing heavily in an AI-driven SDLC — which you will help drive — with the product specs, architecture documentation, code review, and quality gates in place to make ~100% AI-generated code work. We've operated this way since March 2026. The successful candidate will already have experience operating an AI-first engineering organization where coding agents are responsible for a significant portion of production software delivery. They should be able to describe: - how work flows from specification
