Requirements

• Significant software engineering experience before or alongside engineering management.
• Experience managing senior, autonomous engineers.
• A strong background in platform engineering, developer infrastructure, developer productivity, backend infrastructure, or distributed systems.
• Experience with CI/CD, release engineering, developer tooling, or internal engineering platforms.
• Experience owning roadmaps and delivering multi-quarter engineering initiatives.
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle and engineering practices.
• Experience managing technical debt alongside product and business priorities.
• Ability to understand complex technical discussions without needing to personally own every implementation decision.
• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional communication skills.
• Experience hiring, coaching, and developing engineers.
• A pragmatic approach to engineering processes: enough structure to make teams effective, without unnecessary bureaucracy.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead a strong engineering team

• You will manage and develop experienced engineers with significant ownership of their technical domains.
• You will be responsible for regular 1:1s, feedback, performance management, career development, hiring, onboarding, and team health.
• We expect you to create an environment where engineers can remain highly autonomous while having clear priorities, ownership, and accountability.
• You will be responsible for team capacity planning and hiring when needed.

Build strong product

• You will be working closely with Product Managers and department VP to define how the products look and what to build.
• You will work with Quality Engineering and Product Security teams to deliver high-quality products.

Drive planning and execution

• Own planning and operational execution across multiple engineering workstreams.
• Create visibility into priorities, dependencies, timelines, and resource allocation.
• Help the team turn broad technical direction into an executable roadmap.
• Identify and remove blockers before they significantly impact delivery.
• Balance new development, customer commitments, operational work, and technical debt.
• Define meaningful engineering metrics and use them to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Keep stakeholders informed about progress, risks, and trade-offs.
• Plan release and update cycles of the product.
• Maintain the product, be responsible for defects triaging and mitigation.

Stay close to technology

• This is not a purely people-management role. Technical background and experience are a must.
• Participate in technical discussions, review designs and architecture proposals, understand engineering trade-offs, and challenge assumptions when needed.
• Enable senior engineers to own significant parts of the technical direction effectively.
