About the role

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of a technical area — planning it, designing it, shipping it, running it in production, holding its quality bar, and growing the engineers working on it.

• Platform — Work on Increff's core platform, building and scaling reliable, high-throughput systems that power our products and enable seamless business operations.
• Delivery — Run stand-ups and sprint planning, make commitments the team can meet, and own release readiness: scope, testing, risks, cut-offs.
• Solutioning — Design and build the major and high-risk components of your area. Drive refactoring where it pays off. Balance MVP scope against maintainability.
• Quality — Review for correctness, security, performance, and reliability. Act as merge-quality gatekeeper. Keep test coverage sufficient and production defects low, with RCA on what slips through.
• Mentorship — Coach 3–4 SDE-I engineers through reviews, pairing, and design walkthroughs until they own features end to end.
• Production health — Own alerts, dashboards, runbooks, and incident response for your area. Protect data correctness and security. Keep docs current.
• Productivity — Automate repetitive work and quality checks. Use AI for research, task breakdown, and edge-case discovery — and validate its output.
