About the role
- Cultivate a collaborative, inclusive team culture, bringing PM into architectural discussions early so user and business implications surface before code does, and resolving the interpersonal or systemic issues that get in the team's way
Responsibilities
- Own the success and growth of the engineers on your team - run regular 1:1s, give consistent and actionable feedback, tailor projects to each person's development, and onboard new engineers with the technical and product context they need
- Hold the bar on technical decisions, reviewing architecture and design docs and critical code with an eye to long-term maintainability; proactively manage technical debt and keep defect rates low while balancing speed and quality
- Advocate for developer experience and a high standard of API design across the team's surface
- Drive scoping, costing, and estimation, and own the accuracy of those estimates; set clear expectations, manage cross-functional communication, and escalate risks early so the team delivers on time
- Partner closely with Product and Design and contribute directly to product discovery and strategy, making sure engineering insight shapes the roadmap, and that the decisions you advocate for represent the customer's perspective, not just the system's constraints
- You partner naturally with Product and Design, and you advocate for the customer's perspective, not just the technical constraints of the system
- We work with each other day in and day out, and strongly believe that building a diverse and inclusive team is key to our long-term goals and success as a company.
