How We Work Together

Managers are servant leaders: they remove obstacles, not dictate solutions

We expect you to empower engineers to own their work end-to-end

You'll collaborate closely with product and design to form strong trios

Success is measured in team outcomes and sustainability, not individual heroics

You help keep the team aligned with Prerender's strategy and values

Partnering with PM/Design to refine the next slice of work and clarify scope

Reviewing team health and delivery metrics (cycle time, WIP, incident follow-ups)

Joining a pairing session to understand context and offer feedback (not to gatekeep)

Coordinating a cross-team dependency or aligning on an architecture change

Hiring activities: interviewing, feedback, and improving our hiring signal

Running or improving a retro, turning insights into small, actionable experiments

What You Bring to the Table

2+ years managing software engineers; 10+ years total in engineering

Experience leading XP/DevOps practices (pairing, TDD, CI/CD, trunk-based development)

Proven coaching, facilitation, and conflict-resolution skills

Track record of improving delivery flow and operational excellence (SLOs/incident reviews)

Ability to collaborate deeply with Product & Design; strong stakeholder communication

Sufficient technical depth to support decisions in a cloud-native environment (TypeScript/Node.js or Go, AWS)

Bias for simplicity, incremental change, and sustainable pace

What's in It for You
