Mission

Build the engineering team, ship what comes next, and repeat. Turn a proven proxies-and-servers business into the company that powers AI agents with our proxy infrastructure and scraping capabilities — and deepen the moat with hard-won knowledge of how to scrape at scale.

The Opportunity

HypeProxies is one of the fastest-growing infra-first proxy and server companies in the market. We've built:

• Fully owned infrastructure in Ashburn, VA and Dallas, TX

• A world-class brand and reputation

• 1,000+ servers sold and managed internally

• A Proxmox-based VPS platform serving hundreds of B2B and data collection teams

• A custom proxy engine and VPS platform

Proxies and servers already work. The next chapter is using that foundation to power AI agents: reliable proxy infrastructure, scraping APIs, and the operational edge that comes from knowing how to collect data at scale. Exact product shapes will evolve. The responsibility does not — build the team, build the next product, repeat.

You'll report directly to the CEO. You'll own engineering outcomes end-to-end — hiring, architecture, delivery, reliability, and the roadmap that connects infra we already own to whatever we ship next.

What You Will Own

You will:

• Own engineering leadership for HypeProxies — people, priorities, and delivery

• Hire and grow a strong engineering team around infrastructure, platform, automation, and product

• Lead the next product wave on top of our proxy and scraping capabilities, especially where AI agents need reliable access to the web

• Build and protect a durable advantage from how we scrape and operate at scale — not just from selling access

• Keep existing proxy and server products reliable while the company expands

• Set technical direction, quality bars, and operating cadence with the CEO

• Turn ambiguous opportunities into shipped products with clear ownership

• Build the culture and systems so the team compounds instead of bottlenecking on you

Responsibilities

1. Build the Team

• Define the engineering org shape for the next 12–24 months

• Recruit, hire, and onboard engineers who can own hard production systems

• Set clear expectations, mentoring, and performance standards

• Create a hiring bar and interview process others can run without you

• Grow senior ICs (including infrastructure and platform talent) into durable owners

2. Build the Next Product

• Decide what to build next with the CEO — guided by customer signal, not a frozen roadmap

• Use our proxy infrastructure and scraping APIs as the core substrate for products that power AI agents

• Turn operational know-how from scraping and data collection at scale into product and platform advantage

• Ship in short loops: prototype, validate with customers, harden, scale

• Keep new work connected to the proxy and server platform we already operate

• Kill weak bets early and double down when something works

3. Repeat — Org + Product Compounding

• Run a simple operating rhythm: roadmap, weekly delivery, incident review, hiring pipeline

• After each product lands, staff the next bet and raise the quality bar again

• Reduce founder dependency by documenting architecture, runbooks, and decision ownership

• Keep the company shipping while you expand scope — no “pause the business to rebuild”

4. Technical Leadership

• Own architecture across infrastructure, platform services, scraping systems, and product surfaces

• Make pragmatic build-vs-buy and stack decisions that favor speed and operational reality

• Partner with network and infrastructure engineers on capacity, reliability, and cost

• Stay close enough to the code and production systems to catch bad bets early

• Drive security, access control, and data-handling standards as product surface area grows

5. Execution With the CEO

• Translate company strategy into an engineering roadmap with clear sequencing

• Surface tradeoffs early — speed vs reliability, build vs buy, hire vs ship yourself

• Own delivery dates that mean something, and communicate when reality changes

• Represent engineering in customer and partner conversations when technical depth matters

What Makes This Role Special

• The responsibility is huge on purpose: build the team, build the next product, repeat.

• You'll inherit a real business — proxies and servers that already sell — not a slide deck.

• You'll help turn proxy + scraping infrastructure into products that power AI agents, with a moat rooted in how we scrape at scale.

• You'll work directly with the CEO with full ownership of engineering outcomes.

• Equity up to 2.5% with a four-year vest reflects how central this seat is.

• Your fingerprints will be on the org chart and whatever customers buy from Hype next.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $150,000–$180,000, depending on experience

• Equity: up to 2.5%, four-year vest

• Fully remote

• 4 weeks PTO

• Performance-based cash growth as the team and product surface area scale

• Direct path to shape Head of Engineering into the long-term technical leadership seat at Hype
