About Us
Clean air is one of the four basic necessities of life, yet most people are airblivious. At Mila our mission is to bring every family back from airblivion and shape the healthy home of the future.
Mila Cares, Inc. is a consumer electronics startup based in SF. We were founded by three dads who wanted better for their young children and turned a passion project into something more. We are now backed by Electrolux, one of the largest consumer appliance manufacturers in the world, Paul Allen's Vulcan Capital, and one of the largest US consumer products companies. Our first product was a smash hit on Kickstarter, generating over nearly $2M in pre-orders and winning Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2021. Our second product won the CES 2022 Innovation Award in Home Electronics. We have a lot more in the pipeline and are looking the next generation of talented, thoughtful leaders to help us bring these to market.
At Mila we strive to be thoughtful in everything we do, from our product decisions, to our customer and co-worker interactions. We know our customers buy our products for the health of their loved ones and we take that responsibility seriously.
The Role
The Mila team is growing and we are looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our distributed team of 20+ smart and dedicated backend, mobile, frontend, ecom, firmware, control system and hardware engineers. Candidates with consumer IOT experience will be at the top of our list. This is a critical, high impact role where you will define and lead the strategic and technical direction, along with culture and execution.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for growing and developing an incredible team of hardworking backend, frontend, firmware and hardware engineers in delivering thoughtful, customer-focused features.
You will work alongside product, manufacturing, marketing and customer service teams to create and maintain a portfolio of products that customers rave about.
You will be a key member of the leadership team
You will drive and own the product roadmap: from short term feature releases, to mid-term product releases, to blue-sky R&D initiatives.
You are comfortable with ambiguity inherent to startups and can decide and act without having the total picture, and solve problems that don t have a clear solution.

10+ years of overall experience in software engineering and prior experience at an early stage product or company that has seen considerable growth
5+ years engineering management experience
3+ years consumer IOT experience
Experience recruiting, developing and retaining top-notch engineering talent
