• Manage a team of roughly six to eight engineers, including regular one-on-ones, ongoing feedback, hiring, performance management and career development.
• Own the team's planning, retrospectives and delivery health, and raise risks early.
• Stay close to the work by writing code for a modest share of your time and contributing regular pull requests.
• Partner with product managers and technical leads on priorities, architecture decisions and cross-functional alignment.
• Onboard new engineers smoothly and keep documentation and ownership boundaries clear.

• Recent technical contribution to live products while holding a management position.
• A progressive career path from software engineer through senior and staff levels into management.
