Responsibilities
- Co-own the roadmap with your Product Manager, balancing delivery, quality and technical health as genuine equals.
- Own delivery health for your team - predictability, throughput and the quality of what ships.
- Hold technical accountability by default. Ownership of technical quality of the teams work, including architecture and SLOs.
- Stay close to the codebase to make informed calls on technical trade-offs, risk and quality.
- Read code, review PRs and pair-programme regularly to maintain technical quality and mentor engineers.
- Manage, coach and develop the engineers on your team, and own hiring from sourcing through to close.
- Set and track team-level goals in partnership with your direct reports.
- Own your team's budget, including software spend and headcount planning.
- Own SLOs and operational health for the systems your team is responsible for.
- Drive adoption of AI tooling and practices within your team.
Requirements

- Pair-programme effectively with engineers on real work.
- Review pull requests with meaningful, technically credible feedback.
- Previous experience managing engineers, ideally within a product-led organisation.
