Responsibilities

Build and lead high-velocity teams that ship product fast and with polish
Be deeply technical and hands-on: read the PRs, write prototypes, jump into the weeds
Take raw ideas and turn them into working systems, even if you have to duct tape the first version
Rally your team even when there is ambiguity, setbacks, or tough customer asks—run through walls when needed
Push for clarity, focus, and high energy in every sprint. Drive urgency without burning people out
Drive alignment on the roadmap and become an expert on customer needs related to the product areas your team owns
Spend time with customers and engineers alike—digging into pain points, testing assumptions, and improving the craft
Coach, mentor, and build a team of curious, scrappy, driven engineers—people who want to grow fast and build great things
