Maybe someone can help me read between the lines here. This is odd.
“It sounds like your conversation went well today with Xxxxx. I just heard from Yyyyy and we would actually like you to meet with one more person, Zzzzz, Sr Director of Engineering. The team feels you are a better fit for a role on his brand new team (Zzzzz right now is a team of 1). Zzzzz can tell you more about the role on his team and what his team is doing. Can you let me know your availability to meet with him?”
Not sure if this is good or bad.

SB, that sounds like ZZ really wants you, and you’ve impressed Z enough to add you to his team, which consists of...him! Good job!
I would keep an open mind, but evaluate the job description carefully, especially if this “new team role” has different qualifications/resulting compensation. It almost sounds like a “bait and switch.” I spent 30 years in the corporate world, so these are my first thoughts. YMMV, since I certainly don’t have all the facts.
Not sure if this is good or bad.

sounds even more special to me! just a 1 man thing so far..
It’s good!
I once was conducting interviews for position “A”, and had planned on conducting interviews for position “B”, after hiring for the “A” spot. It turns out that I found the Home Run “B” candidate first, so I hired “B” before “A”
Best of luck to you in your job search activity!
I think it’s very good. They want you and think you’d be a terrific hire for a project they weren’t advertising for yet.
I loved being in on the ground floor of new projects. They offered excitement, some rarer opportunities to influence the direction of a new product, policy or procedure, and you never had to compete with the guy who just left the position open and deal with all the baggage that situation came with.
The down side of these new company endeavors was that they often involved a LOT of overtime, much of which was expected and unpaid.
