Manage staffing strategy for your team: hiring, retention, skills development, and allocation decisions when engineers move onto short-lived project teams.
Serve as subject matter expert across initiatives in your domain; the person the Director pulls in when a project team needs a technical gut-check or a stakeholder needs a credible voice.
Lead people development through 1:1s, performance management, career growth conversations, and coaching.
Champion AI tooling adoption across your team; we don't approve headcount for teams that haven't demonstrated AI leverage.
Deliver weekly throughput reporting and signal-dense status updates that allow leadership to move fast without needing to ask.
Partner closely with Product, Architecture, Security, and DevOps to deliver against business priorities.
Identify and remove blockers, improve processes, and maintain a culture of accountability and execution.

8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in an engineering management or people leadership role.
Demonstrated ability to develop engineers; measurable through promotions, expanded scope, and increased ownership on your teams.
Comfort operating without direct control of project execution; you influence through people and expertise, not task ownership.
Familiarity with AI-powered development tools and a track record of building teams that use them.
Strong cross-functional communication skills; you'll regularly navigate competing priorities across product, design, and peer engineering teams.
Experience with modern frontend or backend stacks, cloud infrastructure, and scalable system design.
Data-driven approach to operational decisions; you use engineering metrics, not intuition, to identify where to focus.
