You focus on creating conditions for engineers to thrive: clear priorities, healthy processes, and a strong culture of collaboration and XP practices. You balance delivery and people growth, ensuring our systems and teams evolve together sustainably.

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/Dev
  Ops 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 or in Go, AWS

What's in it for You

• Ultimate flexibility: We're 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
• Freedom and autonomy: We're a trust team, and you'll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
• Minimum bureaucracy: We don't like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
• Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial Saa
  S professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning, and expertise.
• Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
