• Own day-to-day execution of your engineering pod: sprint planning, delivery, and team health
• Partner closely with product managers to align on quarterly goals, clear blockers, and keep work pointed in the right direction
• Work alongside engineering leadership and the engineering team on architectural decisions, shaping them, not just attending them
• Take on a second engineering pod within 3 to 6 months as your leadership of the first team is established
• Lead full performance management for 8 to 12 engineers: 1:1s, twice-annual reviews, coaching plans, and promotion recommendations
• Translate emergent AI strategies into team-level execution; partner across the org to test and refine workflows, review cycles, and SDLC practices as engineering-wide standards take shape.

• 4+ years managing engineering teams, including experience managing multiple concurrent teams or pods
• Track record of shipping software across an agile SDLC, with a bias towards rapid, iterative development and constantly shortening the feedback loop

• Full-range people management experience: growing high performers, supporting struggling ones, and hiring new ones
• Technical grounding strong enough to give credible feedback on code and architectural decisions
• Informed point of view on AI in software engineering, you've thought about how the process changes, not just the speed
