About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of software engineers building the Hatch and Unity platforms.
Partner with product management and business stakeholders to translate requirements into actionable development plans.
Own delivery timelines and ensure the team ships high-quality software on schedule.
Conduct regular 1:1s, provide feedback, and support career development for your team members.
Participate in hiring efforts: sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding new engineers.
Foster a healthy team culture built on collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Guide technical discussions and help the team make sound architectural decisions.
Remove obstacles and shield the team from distractions so they can focus on building.
Establish and refine development processes and AI-assisted workflows, balancing agility with predictability.
Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, customer success, and other engineering teams.
Stay close enough to the codebase, and to how the team works with AI, to give meaningful input during code reviews and technical planning.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of software development experience, with at least 2 years in a management or team-lead role.
Experience managing teams building web applications, ideally in Elixir/Phoenix or similar modern stacks.
A strong understanding of software development practices: testing, CI/CD, code review, and Agile methodologies.
Fluency with modern AI development tools, and a clear point of view on how they change the way teams build, hire, and measure impact.
A proven ability to hire, develop, and retain strong engineering talent. Increasingly, that means hiring for judgment, product sense, and verification skills, not raw output.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience managing delivery across multiple products or initiatives simultaneously.
Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make decisions with incomplete information.
A track record of building trust with both your team and cross-functional partners.
A genuine interest in the growth and well-being of the people you manage.
Familiarity with REST and GraphQL APIs, database design, and cloud infrastructure is a plus.
Experience in B2B SaaS, supply chain, or IT asset management is a plus, but not required.
