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.

• 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.
