Strategic Direction: Co-develop the technical roadmap and long-term goals in collaboration with Product and Architecture, ensuring team priorities align with and drive strategic objectives.
Execution & Delivery: Oversee the successful delivery of sprints and quarterly plans, tracking progress, identifying gaps, and communicating course corrections to stakeholders.
Operational Excellence: Refine agile and lean methodologies to balance delivery speed with product quality, while owning the team’s on-call rotation and serving as a point of escalation for incidents.
Coaching & Empowerment: Set clear goals and KPIs that empower engineers to drive their own direction, providing the coaching and facilitation needed to ensure success without micromanagement.
Product Innovation: Apply Product Led Growth practices to the platform, using data-driven experimentation to measure impact and continuously improve the user experience.
What You Bring:
Leadership Experience: 2+ years of demonstrated success managing, mentoring, and growing high-performing engineering teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Technical Foundation: A strong background in software engineering with proficiency in Go, TypeScript, Java, or Python, backed by a solid understanding of system architecture and design.
Scale & Performance: A track record of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions, specifically involving the creation of APIs for internal/external customers and handling large data volumes.
Complex Problem Solving: The ability to navigate and solve problems in complex technical environments, ensuring systems can handle large amounts of traffic efficiently.
Collaborative Communication: Strong interpersonal skills that allow you to thrive in cross-functional environments, building relationships and incorporating valuable feedback into team plans.
We care deeply about the warm, inclusive environment we’ve created and we value diversity – we welcome applications from those typically underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this role but are not totally sure whether you’re the right person, do apply anyway!
