About Moon

An ambitious and independent stealth SaaS company incubated by Home Organizers, a market leader with decades of proven success in designing and delivering exceptional, innovative home organization solutions through its subsidiaries Closet World, Closets by Design, Brio Water Technology, and others. Backed by their deep industry experience and a commitment to be Home Organizer’s critical SaaS provider for its 6000+ employees, our team is building innovative solutions to solve universal problems that most businesses face — yet are not addressed by a single, unified tool. 

Our mission is to transform the entrepreneurial experience and deliver operational excellence for businesses across the world through a unified platform supercharged with proprietary AI agents. We want to unleash the creativity of billions and inspire the world to dream big and build fast. We’re a rapidly growing team of forward-thinking and, most importantly, committed builders. We are driven by the opportunity to push boundaries, reimagine the foundations of human work, and shape tools that power the next generation of “business operations.” The way the world views and does business is changing, and we are committed to leading this change responsibly.

Role Overview

As Director of Engineering, you will be the technical heartbeat of Moon, working side-by-side with our founder to deliver breakthrough products at unprecedented speed and execute on the companies vision. Your role is to transform bold ideas into scalable, world-class software that redefines the entrepreneurial experience. You will lead engineering, product, and product design teams, set the technical vision, and drive execution from concept to launch. This is a role for someone who thrives on urgency, embraces innovation, and can manage complexity with precision. You will be responsible for ensuring Moon’s technical excellence, aligning product decisions with business goals, and scaling a team capable of building what typically takes five years in just one. You will be expected to operate on the edge of the frontier and take the team there as well.


About the role

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a stealth SaaS company backed by a proven market leader, with the resources, support, and ambition to scale globally.

What you'll do

  • Lead, inspire, and scale high-performing engineering, product management, and design teams to operate in the top tenth of a percent in the world.
  • Translate visionary goals into achievable product milestones with extreme speed and precision.
  • Drive end-to-end product development — from ideation to design, implementation, testing, and launch.
  • Establish world-class engineering processes, tools, and culture that balance creativity with discipline ensuring we compete with the most productive Ai powered workflows out there.
  • Make critical decisions on product, platform, and technology trade-offs to accelerate execution.
  • Ensure product reliability, security, and scalability to support rapid growth and global adoption.
  • Partner with the founder on strategic planning and ensure delivery on ambitious commitments to users, investors, and the market.
  • Hire and recruit A+ developers and product managers who are self-managing, leading them to excellence.

Qualifications

  • Proven track record of building and shipping end-to-end successful, innovative software products, ideally multiple times with large user bases.
  • 12+ years of experience in technology leadership, including 5+ years in senior executive roles (Director, or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated ability to scale and manage large, multidisciplinary teams across engineering, product, and design.
  • Deep expertise in SaaS platforms, product design principles, and modern engineering practices.
  • Strong strategic and operational leadership skills: able to think creatively while enforcing discipline and accountability.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
