Mission
Own the sustainable delivery and technical excellence of a cross‑functional product squad. Partner with the Product Manager to turn strategy into predictable outcomes for customers and the business.
Scope & Reporting
Team: 5–8 engineers within a product squad (with peers in product, design, data).
Reports to: VP of Engineering.
Location: Europe-first, remote.
What you’ll own (outcomes)
Predictable delivery: Clear plans and commitments; delivery variance within agreed thresholds; minimal rollover.
Quality & reliability: Defect/leakage rates, SLOs, change failure rate, mean time to recovery.
Flow & efficiency: Lead time for changes, deployment frequency, WIP limits respected.
Customer impact: Team‑level product metrics (e.g., activation, adoption, retention) agreed with PM.
Team health: Engagement, retention, hiring, skills growth.
Responsibilities
Delivery & Execution
Drive planning, sequencing, and execution for the squad; make trade‑offs explicit and time‑box discovery/validation.
Remove blockers fast; coordinate dependencies across teams; hold crisp, data‑driven status.
Establish and evolve pragmatic agile practices to maintain sustainable pace.
Technical Leadership (hands‑on)
Set the engineering bar (architecture, code health, testing, observability, security).
Perform code and design reviews; pair and contribute code when it materially de‑risks or accelerates.
Guide architectural decisions; keep tech debt visible and deliberately managed with the PM.
Product Partnership
Co‑own squad strategy with the PM: clarify problem framing, success metrics, and prioritisation.
Balance discovery vs. delivery; instrument features; ensure learnings flow back into roadmap decisions.
People & Team
Coach and grow engineers through regular 1:1s, feedback, and growth plans; run fair, timely performance reviews.
Address under‑performance with clarity and compassion; run PIPs when needed.
Hire bar‑raising talent; partner with recruiting; design and run structured interviews; ensure excellent onboarding.
Foster an inclusive, psychologically safe environment; promote knowledge sharing and mentorship.
Operations & Risk
Track and publish team metrics (delivery, quality, flow, impact) and use them for continuous improvement.
Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory standards relevant to the squad’s domain.
