About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Run the cadences. Planning, standups, and retros. Lightweight, useful, never theater.
Track everything. Know the state of every active project and surface risk before it becomes a fire.
Own delivery metrics. Cycle time, review latency, and reliability. Use them humanely, not as a stick.
Command incidents. Be the first escalation when something breaks, coordinate the response, and run a blameless RCA that actually changes something.
Grow the team. 1:1s, coaching, and a hiring pipeline that holds a high bar (job descriptions, scorecards, screens).
You own outcomes. Not the most code. The most shipped, on time, at quality.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've shipped delivery improvements. Real ones, with a before-and-after you can describe.
Technical enough to earn respect. Engineers trust your judgment because you understand the work.
Humane with data. You use metrics to help people, not to rank them.
Calm in incidents. You coordinate instead of panicking.
Great writer. Your decisions are clear on the page, without a meeting.
Self-directed. You don't wait to be told what's slipping.
Fluent in English, written and spoken.
A written example of how you ran a delivery process or unblocked a team: a real retro, an incident RCA, or a process you designed and rolled out.
You've managed a small, high-output engineering team.
Incident command experience.
A track record of hiring at a high bar.
