Production Management
What you will be doing:
- Own delivery across product, engineering, and QA: roughly ten people total.
- Stay close to the work: design reviews, reading PRs, and occasionally in the code.
- Run the engineering system: unblock dependencies, kill ambiguity early, and keep the path from "decided" to "in production" short.
Core skills experience:
- 8+ years building production software, with 3+ leading teams in the 5–15 range.
- Depth in distributed systems and API platforms: services, queues, event streams, integration patterns, and data models.
- A real SRE track record: SLOs, incident command, capacity planning, cost-aware infrastructure.
Who you are:
- Clear direct communicator: communicates with clarity, precision, and honesty.
- Adaptable generalist: curious and eager to learn unfamiliar parts of the system.
- Pragmatic and impact-oriented: focuses on delivering value, making thoughtful tradeoffs between speed and quality.
