BackOps is the AI resolution layer for companies that make or move physical goods. It improves and executes internal processes across systems, internal teams, and external parties. Backed by Gradient Ventures.
About the role
This role is for leaders who think in products as much as in systems. This product area does not have settled patterns yet, so a large part of this job is product and design thinking done alongside Product and Design, not execution handed down from a roadmap. You should want to be close to the work: read code, sit in design reviews, and hold a high bar on how the software gets built. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hire, Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of product engineers
- Own the evolution of BackOps core product: the reusable workflow automations customers run their operations on, and the product surface end to end
- Own the software development lifecycle end to end: architecture and design, code review, testing, release, and what happens in production afterward
- Drive predictable delivery and raise the engineering quality bar. Be accountable for what ships, when it ships, and how well it holds up
- Partner with Product and Design in a tight, fast loop. Bring your own product opinions, decide quickly, ship, and measure
- Work directly with customers and design partners. Their operations change constantly, and the product has to change with them
