Requirements
- You are technical and can hold in-depth conversations with direct reports from infra to backend to frontend.
- You know what exceptional engineers look like and have thought deeply about what makes them tick, how to recruit them, and how to grow folks into them.
- You hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from getting into the details and giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team.
- You’re good at thinking about product, business, and maybe even design, but you’re not interested in calling the shots and are more interested in building a team that can make the best decisions without you.
- You think engineering culture and process could use improvement, and you’ve tried or successfully implemented something that sheds the status quo in pursuit of something better.
- You are an excellent and empathetic communicator.
Responsibilities
- Provide feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality.
- Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention.
- Rethink how we (and the industry) do pull request reviews by aligning on goals with the team, sampling a set of PRs to understand how effective they are, and writing a proposal to the team about what we could change to speed up reviews while giving reviewers the time and space to give useful feedback.
- Design and improve interview tracks based on candidate and team feedback.
- Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience.
- Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience shipping products and user-facing experiences to complement the current leadership team.
- Experience working on successful products in great environments.
