Job Objective:

We have spent years searching for engineering talent and have learned one hard truth: great engineers are not rare — great engineering leaders are. We are not looking for project coordinators with a technical background. We are not looking for managers who "used to code."

We are looking for someone who has been in the trenches for over a decade, has seen what bad delivery looks like up close, and has made it their personal mission to never let it happen on their watch.

This is a role for someone who is deeply passionate about software quality, who feels a genuine discomfort when teams ship work they are not proud of, and who has the technical credibility and interpersonal presence to raise the bar — sustainably. If you thrive in high-accountability environments and care deeply about the craft, keep reading.

Responsibilities:

Delivery Excellence

• Own end-to-end delivery across one or more engineering teams: planning, execution, risk management, and stakeholder communication.
• Define and enforce delivery standards: definition of done, acceptance criteria, release readiness, and quality gates — non-negotiable.
• Identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and risks before they become problems; act decisively to remove them.
• Run tight, effective sprint ceremonies — planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives that actually improve the team, not just report on it.
• Track the right metrics: cycle time, lead time, defect escape rate, deployment frequency, MTTR — and use them to drive real change, not to fill dashboards.

Engineering Quality & Standards

• Establish and uphold engineering standards across the teams you lead: code review practices, testing requirements, documentation expectations, and release processes.
• Partner with tech leads and architects to ensure technical decisions are sound, scalable, and not driven by schedule pressure alone.
• Be the person who says "this is not ready to ship" and means it — and who earns the team's respect for saying so.
• Drive continuous improvement: post-mortems with action items that actually get done, retrospectives that produce change, and a culture where failure is analyzed, not hidden.

People Leadership

• Build, mentor, and retain high-performing engineers. Recognize talent, develop potential, and make hard calls on performance when needed.
• Create psychological safety for engineers to raise concerns, challenge decisions, and take ownership — while maintaining accountability for outcomes.
• Attract strong engineers: your reputation as a leader who raises the bar should make your teams desirable places to work.
• Give direct, honest feedback — to engineers, to product managers, to leadership. Candor over comfort, always. Clarity is kindness.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Communicate delivery status, risks, and decisions clearly and proactively to business stakeholders — in English, written and verbal, at a native-fluency level.
• Translate technical complexity into business impact: you know how to say "this will take 3 weeks because..." in a way that builds trust, not anxiety.
• Manage expectations relentlessly. No surprises. Bad news delivered early is always better than bad news delivered late.
• Serve as the bridge between business priorities and engineering capacity — honest on both sides.

AI-Augmented Delivery

• Build AI-assisted delivery workflows: use LLMs for sprint planning analysis, dependency mapping, risk identification, and retrospective synthesis.
• Standardize AI tool usage across teams: define what tools are used, how output is reviewed, and what responsible AI-assisted development looks like in practice.
• Use AI to reduce administrative overhead so engineers spend more time engineering and less time reporting.

Core Requirements:

• 10+ years in software engineering, with a meaningful portion in engineering leadership or delivery management roles.
• You have led teams that shipped complex, production-grade software — not demos, not internal tools. Real products with real users.
• You have managed multi-team or multi-workstream delivery and know how to keep things coherent when they get complicated.
• You have hired engineers, managed performance, and yes — let people go when necessary. You are not afraid of hard conversations.
• You have worked in fast-paced environments (startups, scale-ups, or high-velocity enterprise teams) where high standards were the baseline.

Technical Skills:

Technical Depth — Non-Negotiable

• You understand modern software architecture: microservices, APIs, cloud-native systems, data pipelines, and distributed systems at a conceptual and practical level.
• You can participate meaningfully in technical discussions — not to make the final call, but to ask the right questions, identify risks, and earn the team's respect.
• You know what good code review looks like. You know what a well-structured PR description looks like. You know what a healthy CI/CD pipeline looks like.
• You have enough technical grounding to detect when a technical estimate is inflated, when corners are being cut, or when a "quick fix" is a time bomb.

The Non-Technical Stuff — Just As Important

• Fluent English, written and verbal — you communicate with precision, clarity, and confidence in high-stakes situations.
• Genuine passion for software: you follow the industry, you have opinions about engineering culture, you read, you learn, you grow — because you want to, not because you have to.
• Work ethic that is visible: you show up fully, you see things through, and your teams know they can count on you.
• Intelligence that manifests as judgment: you make good calls under pressure, you learn from mistakes quickly, and you think before you act.
• Heavy AI user: you have integrated AI tools into your daily workflow and you actively help your teams do the same.
