Engineering Manager

The Global Startup Operator: 2+ years of experience directly managing a team of ~10 software engineers, with a proven track record of successfully running globally distributed, asynchronous teams.

AI Fluency: You are an active user of modern AI development tools yourself and have a clear philosophy on how to lead a team utilizing them. You understand exactly where AI accelerates engineering and, crucially, where it introduces risk, tech debt, or quality issues. You view AI as a powerful tool for amplifying engineering output, enabling your team to achieve significantly more while maintaining high standards of quality. You bring experience and expertise in using AI tools in day-to-day operations as well as building AI enabled tools for wider adoption.

Chaos Wrangler: Proven experience building triage systems for ad-hoc bugs and running real-time incident management for live, high-stakes production systems. You know how to categorize severity, shield developers from noise, and keep a cool head during production outages.

A Master of Async Communication: Exceptional written communication skills. You default to thorough documentation, clear ticketing, and public channels over ad-hoc calls, setting the gold standard for how a global team interacts.

Data-Driven Operator: You don't guess if a sprint went well; you use data. You have practical experience utilizing DORA metrics or similar frameworks to diagnose engineering bottlenecks and improve team velocity.

.

People-First Leader: You excel at the human side of management. You know how to cultivate psychological safety and prevent burnout—especially when managing distributed on-call rotations—while maintaining a high bar for accountability.

Technical Grounding: While you won't be setting the architecture or writing production code daily, you have a strong engineering background. You can confidently navigate code reviews, understand modern cloud workflows, and intelligently challenge estimates.

Low Ego, High Alignment: You thrive in a partnership where you own execution and delivery, collaborating seamlessly with the VP of Engineering who owns the technical vision and architecture.

Domain Expertise: Prior engineering management experience in Supply Chain, Logistics, or E-commerce verticals.

Integration Familiarity: Experience working with major e-commerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce) or complex cross-border shipping, tracking, and customs APIs. You understand the pain points of real-world data synchronization and physical-world dependencies.
