About the role

  • Lead teams to outcomes
  • Manage 6–10 engineers across one stream-aligned team
  • Set measurable quarterly outcomes tied to product strategy
  • Create focus and flow: limit work in progress, manage dependencies, and remove blockers quickly.
  • Run high-quality 1:1s and career growth plans; give timely, actionable feedback.
  • Level up first-time and developing managers or tech leads via shadowing, rehearsal, and explicit success criteria.
  • Foster a psychologically safe, low-ego culture with high standards for design reviews, code reviews, and post-incident learning.
  • Drive predictable execution: roadmaps, sprint health, and on-time milestones.
  • Uphold non-functional requirements: availability (e.g., 99.9% uptime), performance at scale (p95 ≤ target), secure-by-default.
  • Ensure testing strategy is modern and layered—contract/consumer-driven tests, performance budgets, chaos/disaster-recovery exercises.
  • Work with Product and Design in continuous discovery: weekly user touchpoints, live metrics reviews, fast MVP slicing, and tight feedback cycles.
  • Frame problems before jumping to solutions; choose impact over output and experiments over big bets.
  • Co-author technical strategy and RFC/ADRs; pay down debt intentionally; keep architectures aligned with platform and infrastructure.
  • Make pragmatic buy/build decisions; standardize interfaces and contracts across teams.
  • Establish 'AI-auditor' practices: prompt discipline, code audit checklists, security reviews, and traceability of AI-generated artifacts.
  • Use AI to accelerate—not replace—engineering judgment: scaffolding, tests, documentation, migration plans.
  • Run fair calibrations; contribute to merit, promotion, and leveling decisions with evidence and band awareness.

Requirements

  • 2+ years managing software engineers (or tech leads) delivering production systems at meaningful scale.
  • Prior senior/staff-level IC experience or equivalent architectural depth; comfortable with event-driven systems, data pipelines, and API contracts.
  • Demonstrated product mindset: can translate business goals into measurable engineering outcomes and MVPs.
  • Proven track record improving execution—planning, estimation, dependency management, risk mitigation.
  • Fluency with modern testing approaches and production operations (on-call, incident response, blameless postmortems).
  • Hands-on use of AI coding tools with an emphasis on auditing, security, and correctness.
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Professional development opportunities
