We need someone who can take ownership quickly, keep a strong team shipping, and raise the bar on how we build. Judgment about what to build, what to simplify, and what to stop matters as much as throughput.
Lead a team of six engineers directly: set direction, run performance reviews, coach directly, and give hard feedback early rather than letting problems compound.
Own delivery of the member experience roadmap with Product, Design, Data Science and Content. Make sure the team ships predictably and that what ships is good.
Drive technical quality on the codebase: reliability, performance, test coverage, and release health. Decide where to invest in paying down debt versus shipping faster.
Partner with other teams so your team gets fast feedback on their work and spends less time on coordination.
Hire and grow the team. Define what good looks like at each...
