Role Overview

Manage a squad of 4-6 engineers, deliver quarterly OKRs, and partner with the CEO on product & platform strategy.

What You’ll Do

  • Run sprint rituals, unblock teammates, and uphold engineering SLAs.
  • Own architecture reviews, security reviews, and incident response.
  • Define coding standards, DORA metrics, and on-call rotations.
  • Balance tech-debt vs. velocity; champion continuous refactor culture.
  • Hire, onboard, and coach engineers toward seniority milestones.

Must-Haves

  • 2+ years leading teams or pods; setting roadmaps & delivery forecasts
  • Demonstrated ownership of Next.js 15 edge platform budgets & uptime (99.9%+)
  • Experience rolling out org-wide CI policies, branch protections, dependency scanning
  • Designed company-wide rate-limiting & caching strategies (Upstash/Redis, edge KV)
  • Established usage-based billing meters & observability dashboards (Grafana, Datadog, or Vercel Analytics)

Nice-to-Have

  • Driving adoption of Inngest / Trigger.dev across multiple codebases
  • Migration leadership (e.g., Postgres → Drizzle + Supabase Edge)

Bonus Points

  • Built AISDK-powered features or AI-assisted code-review bots
  • Orchestrated long-running idempotent workflows with compensating transactions
  • Rolled out cost-analysis tooling (per-request $ cost, edge compute budgets)
