You'll have the opportunity to guide the team's technical and product strategy, mentor and grow engineering talent, and foster a culture of innovation, quality, and high performance. This is a key leadership role where you will act as the bridge between high-level business strategy and technical execution, ensuring your team's work delivers maximum value to our users and the business.

What you'll do
  • Lead and Mentor: Manage and develop a team of software engineers, fostering their career growth through 1:1s, coaching, and performance management.
  • Drive Execution: Oversee the team's software development lifecycle, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery of the product roadmap and managing the backlog of features and bug fixes.
  • Partner on Product Strategy and Vision: Collaborate closely with Product Management, Design, and other engineering leaders to define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Logging UI.
  • Drive Technical Strategy and Innovation: Define and execute the long-term technical vision for the team, making key architectural decisions, and creating an environment that encourages innovation and experimentation.
  • Champion Engineering Excellence: Drive continuous improvement in engineering practices, processes, and quality. Promote best practices in software engineering, participate in design reviews, and ensure the creation of scalable and maintainable solutions.
  • Foster a Healthy Team Culture: Build and maintain a positive, inclusive, and high-performance team environment where engineers feel empowered and motivated.


This role requires
  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 5 years in a people management role leading software teams.
  • Proven experience leading the development of complex, data-intensive web applications.
  • Demonstrated experience in defining and driving the technical strategy for a product or team, especially when balancing and prioritizing incoming requests with limited capacity
  • Excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (Product, Design, etc.).
  • A deep understanding of Agile development methodologies (Scrum/Kanban) and modern DevOps practices.
  • A passion for mentoring engineers and a track record of building successful, healthy teams.


Bonus points if you have
  • Experience in the observability, monitoring, or logging space
  • Experience with spec-driven development and transforming teams to an AI-driven SDLC
  • Familiarity with modern front-end technologies and frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript, GraphQL)
