Responsibilities
- Lead and mentor a team of engineers, responsible for their output, technical decisions, career development, and priorities.
- Be a thoughtful technical voice and support your team in making diligent architectural decisions.
- Work closely with other engineering leaders, product management, design, and customer success to deliver against the roadmap.
- Exhibit real-time product judgment for in-flight work—clarifying requirements, removing ambiguity, and making scoping decisions to keep the team moving. Own team execution end-to-end—from planning and prioritization through delivery, ensuring commitments are met and blockers are resolved quickly.
- Own support escalations and work closely with customer success to triage, prioritize, and resolve production issues efficiently.
- Be responsible for the on-time, high-quality features developed by the team, using scope and creative problem-solving to find the best paths to delivery.
- Own testing results and quality gates, partnering with DevOps to maintain and improve build pipelines and CI/CD processes. Drive a culture of code quality, testing, and engineering best practices across the team.
- Continuously measure and improve against the team's KPIs, ensuring the team doesn't simply deliver but grows.
- Own the team's delivery health—tracking cycle time, work in progress (WIP), and velocity to identify bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement.
- Participate in hiring, onboarding, and building out the engineering team as Prokeep scales.
- Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations with direct reports.
Qualifications
- 3-5+ years of experience leading engineering teams within SaaS software companies, including direct management of engineers at varying levels of seniority.
- Demonstrated track record of developing talent and retaining high performers.
- Working knowledge of at least one area of our stack: Elixir, React, React Native, or AWS.
- Hands-on experience leading Agile or Kanban/Lean sprint teams, with measurable improvements in velocity, quality, or delivery timelines.
- Experience scoping, planning, and shipping software at a consistent cadence, including building and refining the processes that support it.
- Ability to set clear goals and expectations for teams and individuals, track progress, and course-correct when needed.
- Experience managing projects end-to-end in ambiguous or fast-moving environments where priorities shift.
- Strong communicator with experience translating technical context for non-technical stakeholders and advocating for engineering needs cross-functionally.
- Familiarity with instrumentation, observability, and tooling practices that support engineering team performance and continuous improvement.
- Comfort operating in a startup or high-growth environment where structure is still being built.
