Roles And Responsibilities
Architecture & Design Leadership
Lead, coach, and grow a backend engineering team: 1:1s, performance, hiring, and career growth
Own delivery: scope, sequencing, risk, and shipping against the roadmap
Unblock the team — priorities, dependencies, design decisions, and operational load
Customers & Communication
Communicate clearly with customers, support, product, and engineering — no jargon hiding the actual status
Unblock customers from a technical perspective: reproduce, triage, explain impact, and drive a fix or workaround
Own customer escalations: join the call, set expectations, coordinate the engineering response, and close the loop
Technical Leadership
Hold the bar on architecture, reviews, testing, and production readiness for backend systems
Make or facilitate calls across services, data stores, and messaging — without becoming the bottleneck
Partner with SDE-3s and tech leads on RFCs, incidents, and the technical roadmap
Production
Ensure the team can deploy, roll back, and debug services on GCP and DigitalOcean
Drive incident response and post-incident follow-through when production or a customer is hurting
Engineering Practices
Install simple habits: design reviews, on-call, observability, documentation
Use AI tools for coding, review, tests, and docs; keep accountability with the engineer who ships
