About the role
- You will be expected to reach productivity quickly and to operate close enough to the work to know its real state at any time.
- Stakeholder management is a significant aspect of this role.
- You will report to a Senior Director of Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Own the day-to-day operating cadence of your team(s), including planning, prioritization, standups, and retrospectives, and use that cadence to stay close to the work, surface risks early, and keep delivery predictable.
- Partner with Product Management to set a clear strategic direction and roadmap, and translate it into sequenced, well-scoped execution.
- Engage substantively in technical decisions, fluent enough at the architectural level to discuss tradeoffs with senior engineers, challenge design decisions, and guide the team toward sound, scalable solutions.
- Coach, grow, and develop engineers along their career paths, and shape the team through hiring and performance management.
- Drive scalability, reliability, and technical-debt reduction, and determine where engineering investment should be made.
- Manage risk, dependencies, and cross-team commitments, resolving issues proactively rather than escalating them.

- Experience across a modern backend stack, such as polyglot services (Java, Go, Rust), event-driven and workflow-orchestration systems (Kafka, SQS, Temporal), and relational and NoSQL data stores (MySQL, DynamoDB).
- Take ownership of your team's operating cadence, planning, standups, and retrospectives, so you have a direct, firsthand read on the team's work and its status.
