About the role

You will set technical direction by breaking down complex problems and partnering closely with senior engineers and architects, while keeping your teams healthy, aligned, and delivering with velocity and quality.
Your greatest impact will come through your people.
Why This Role Matters Great engineering organizations are built by great leaders - not just great technologists.

Responsibilities

This is the foundation of the role. Everything else builds on your ability to lead, communicate, and develop people.
Build trust through transparent, honest communication. Be the leader who gives your team clarity on the "why" - not just the "what." Communicate openly about priorities, trade-offs, and hard decisions.
Develop engineers and grow careers. Provide continuous, meaningful feedback - not just quarterly reviews. Understand each team member's goals and actively create opportunities for their growth. Mentor both individual contributors and emerging team leads.
Create psychological safety. Foster an environment where engineers feel safe to ask questions, raise concerns, surface problems early, and challenge ideas constructively. Teams that feel safe move faster and produce better outcomes.
Uphold Bluestaq's core values of trust, ownership, curiosity, teamwork, mentorship, and talent development, fostering a culture where team members take initiative, support one another, and grow together.
Set technical direction by partnering with senior engineers, architects, and technical leads - leaning on their deep expertise while providing leadership context and strategic alignment.
Everything else builds on your ability to lead, communicate, and develop people.
Drive delivery of initiatives by partnering with product owners, product managers, program managers, or project managers to manage scope, priorities, resources, and timelines.
Support and reinforce agile practices (e.g., planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives) to maintain cadence and accountability.
Continuously adjust priorities and capacity in coordination with product and program partners to stay aligned with business and mission needs.

Skills

Communicate progress, risks, and blockers clearly to leadership and stakeholders-no surprises.
Bring engineering and operational insights into customer or product discussions to influence roadmaps and scoping.

Benefits

You will partner with Product, Program, and Architecture leaders to translate strategic vision into action, and you will be the bridge that connects your team's work to the broader mission.
Hire and retain diverse, high-performing talent through inclusive recruiting practices and by building a team culture people don't want to leave.
Monitor team throughput, quality, and operational health; intervene early when risk, bottlenecks, or misalignment appear.
