Chief of Staff

Eagle is on a mission to re-energize the engineering profession.

Every road, water system, and power grid starts at an engineering firm. There are 45,700 of them in the US, and most run on software older than the engineers using it.

Founded by Mayank Mardia (CEO), Sohum Daftary (President), and Thomas Shouler, P.E. (CTO). Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

You'll partner with the Founders across buying great firms, helping them grow, and supporting Eagle’s operations.

We want you to own workstreams, have a perspective, and mobilize people to get things done.

• You can earn trust with owners, founders, and executives

• You can use AI tools every day to work faster, and can show us how

• You're willing to get on a plane and implement the ideas you come up with

• You’re excellent at communications, nuance, and persuasion

• You’re curious and resourceful, figuring out things we didn’t know before

• You show up and unblock the work, which often means meeting people, understanding them, and getting folks aligned

• You aren't afraid to ask hard questions and listen

• You bring people along with clarity, empathy, and intention

• You find the faster, better, and cost-effective path, whether it requires leveraging AI, bringing in people, or coordinating among vendors

• You are a very fast learner and new domains excite you.

• You've started something of your own

• You’ve had to negotiate with or convince people in high-stakes settings

• You've built a tool, dashboard, or automation with AI or low-code

You are an extension, and in some places, a replacement for the Founders. You’ll own workstreams, important conversations, and meaningful decisions.

A portion of what you do will be onsite at our partner engineering firms driving growth, and a portion will be building Eagle.

It’s both, candidly. Expect about a third of your time on deals, a third running Eagle, and a third with the firms we buy. The mix shifts as deals close.

You get to do the deal and then own what happens after it closes. You'll help build a company from zero, backed by Lightspeed, in an industry that's barely been touched by AI. Your scope grows every time we buy a firm.

No, but you should use AI tools daily and be comfortable learning new ones. If you've built something with AI, show us. Our team builds software every day and will help you go further.

About 6 to 8 days a month, mostly Southern California and New York. Some months are heavier, especially around a deal closing.

Yes. Live anywhere in the US. Our NYC office is open to you anytime, and in-person time with the team happens on the road and at HQ.

It grows with the portfolio. As we acquire more firms, paths include leading deals, operating roles at the firms we buy, and senior roles at Eagle. We'll talk openly about where you want to go.

We’re nice! We promise. Small, fast, and in-person in New York. We come from Arup, Palantir, Pivotal, Replica, Bloomberg, and Long Ridge, among others. We ask a lot of questions and get on a lot of planes.
