Guide squads in making architectural decisions, managing technical debt, and maintaining high software maturity.
Ensure the platform is discoverable, auditable, and integrates seamlessly with deployment tools.
Promote security best practices (e.g., OWASP), observability, and performance monitoring.
Foster a culture of documentation, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Essential Functions
Manage 2–6 Engineering Managers and their squads (30+ engineers).
Conduct weekly 1:1s with Tech Leads and Engineering Managers.
Recruit, onboard, and retain diverse talent.
Empower teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions.
Monitor workflows, guide technical decisions, and ensure OKR alignment.
Provide strategic input to senior leadership and represent engineering in customer meetings.
Identify and mitigate risks related to performance, integrity, and scalability.
Lead succession planning and mentor future leaders.
Promote Pismo’s cultural values through feedback, conflict resolution, and stakeholder engagement.
