Responsibilities
Lead and grow a high-performing team: Manage, mentor, and develop a team of engineers as we scale. You’ll set clear expectations, give technical feedback, and help double the team this year by recruiting and interviewing engineer
Be a technical leader, not just a people manager: This is a true player/coach role. You’ll review code, influence architecture, and help make sound technical decisions across the stack. You’ll write code alongside the team—digging in where problems are hardest, stakes are highest, or customer impact is greatest
Build developer-facing web infrastructure: Fern is open source, and you can explore the repo we work in https://github.com/fern-api/fern-platform. You’ll lead work on a TypeScript-heavy Next.js application hosted on Vercel, thinking deeply about performance, scalability, reliability, and developer experience across the Fern Docs product
Improve systems, not just outcomes: Identify where process, tooling, or architecture is slowing us down and fix it. This could mean improving CI, clarifying ownership, simplifying abstractions, or investing in reliability and observability
