The role also includes hiring, developing, and retaining engineering talent while driving cross-functional collaboration and strategic alignment.
Responsibilities
- Plan and execute across multiple workstreams, setting goals at the right altitude and holding the team accountable to them
- Prioritize investment across your portfolio of projects and refocus effort when results are not moving the business forward
- Run efficient operating cadences within SAFe, including PI planning
- Unblock the team by addressing root causes rather than symptoms
- Ensure delivery results do not come at the expense of long-term growth, retention, or psychological safety
- Define a vision for FastAuth that aligns to value stream and company priorities, and bring engineers and cross-functional partners along with it
- Partner with architects and staff engineers on design decisions across TypeScript, React, .NET, Azure, and event-driven architecture
- Resolve misalignment with partner teams and stakeholders who hold different goals
- Serve as a steady presence through change, and coach the team through complexity and ambiguity
- Attract, hire, and retain a diverse and talented engineering team, with an eye on long-term org health rather than the immediate opening
- Interview and assess senior candidates, and keep your team calibrated as interviewers
- Hold the team to clear performance expectations, motivating high performers and turning around low performers
- Grow careers deliberately by matching development opportunities to individual goals and offering next-level work to those ready for it
- Structure the team so the right people are in the right roles, and plan headcount for sustained success
- Break down silos across engineering, product, design, and quality, and influence toward the best outcome for the business rather than the local optimization
- Build deep cross-functional relationships, facilitate the right conversations, and settle disagreements by managing competing viewpoints
- Disagree and commit when that is what moves a critical priority forward
- Remove barriers to inclusion, surface cultural issues proactively, and follow through when something is off
- Write and speak with clarity, tailoring the message to the audience, and share information so the right people stay aligned
