Ember

The engineering organisation is led by head of engineering Gustavo Silva, supported by three tech leads — Malinna Leach, Sergejs Radkevics, and Rhys Streefland. Product leadership sits with lead product manager George Grigolava and senior product manager Nhan Phan. This structure puts 13 named product-and-engineering staff against an accounting-and-support team of six, reflecting a software-first operating model.
