Leading the team

• Lead a team of software engineers across time zones: one-on-ones, feedback, growth plans and performance conversations, held to the same bar for everyone.
• Hire for the team and shape the hiring bar with the Head of Engineering.
• Make quality the whole team’s job: reviews that teach, tests that mean something, and production behaviour the team watches as closely as its tickets.

Delivery

• Own the team’s delivery from problem to production, including planning, estimation, risk and release readiness.
• Partner with product management to shape work before it starts, so stories arrive clear and the team builds the right thing the first time.
• Lead incident response for your team’s systems and make sure every incident leaves the platform safer than it found it.

Building with AI, and leading by example

• Ship code yourself every week: features, fixes and improvements to the team’s tooling, built with coding agents.
• Review the team’s pull requests and teach through them, holding AI-drafted work to the same bar as any other.
• Stay current on AI engineering practice, test new tools and workflows in your own work, and roll out what proves itself to your team and across the organization.
• Grow the engineers who will lead after you.
• 8+ years building production software, including 3+ years managing software engineers directly, with responsibility for hiring and performance.
• You still write and ship production code as a manager, with C# and .NET experience.
• Angular, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes and AWS are a strong plus.
• Daily use of coding agents in your own engineering work, and experience rolling AI engineering practices out to a team.
• Teams that built or operated systems under HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 or comparable regulation.
• Experience leading distributed teams across time zones.
• Written and spoken communication that works across time zones and with colleagues whose first language is not English. (Most of our engineers are in Latin America.)

Every employee receives equity, aligning us all in our shared success. Promotions and growth opportunities are limitless, driven only by your performance and dedication to our core principles:

• We always share relevant information and admit our mistakes freely and openly (even when it is worrisome or uncomfortable to do so). Candid communication and a solution-oriented mindset is rewarded.
• We innovate by finding the right problems, then solving them. We thrive on change that minimizes complexity and improves situations for our stakeholders.
• We incentivize efficient results & people over process and focus only on the work that creates the most value for our stakeholders.
• We are quietly confident and openly humble, being tenacious in our quest to perform and inspire others with our thirst for excellence.
• We do not bow up and knock down—we care about our teammates and treat all of them with respect, regardless of their level within the company.
• We are steadfast in our pursuit to better our company, our colleagues, and ourselves. When we hire, we only hire people who bleed our principles and who will hopefully be our replacement one day.
