## 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
