About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and develop a team of engineers across multiple product domains, owning velocity, process, performance, technical growth, and team culture.
Remain a consistent technical contributor by writing production code, leading design reviews, and pairing with engineers on complex problems.
Define and enforce engineering standards across code quality, system design, testing discipline, deployment practices, and incident response.
Drive the team's AI-native operating model by identifying where AI agents can replace or accelerate engineering workflows, building evaluation frameworks to measure output quality, and coaching engineers to leverage AI tooling as a primary development instrument rather than an occasional aid.
Partner with Product to refine roadmaps, push back on scope where necessary, and ensure the team is working on the highest-leverage problems at any given time.
Own the architecture of your team's systems by making build vs. buy decisions, managing technical debt deliberately, and ensuring the stack can support the growth trajectory of the business.
Contribute to Scan.com's broader engineering culture through interview loops, cross-team design reviews, engineering all-hands, and the institutional knowledge that makes a small team punch above its weight.
