What's in it for you?

• Software with physical stakes: Your team builds systems that run warehouses, transportation, and fulfillment, so the quality of your releases shows up in real operations every day.
• Technical leadership that counts: You'll set direction on architecture and reliability while leading engineers, so your engineering judgment stays central to the job.
• Room to grow: The company is scaling quickly and keeps adding scope, which opens paths for strong managers to take on more.
• Modern engineering practices: You'll bring AI-enabled tools and workflows into how your team builds, with support to do it well.

• Lead and develop engineers: Coach your team, set clear expectations for performance and delivery, and handle underperformance directly.
• Own technical direction: Guide architecture, system design, scalability, and reliability for the systems your team owns.
• Challenge and decide: Evaluate tradeoffs, push back on proposed approaches when they fall short, and make decisions quickly.
• Delegate outcomes: Hand your engineers ownership of results, not task lists, and hold them accountable for delivery.
• Run production well: Own production quality and reliability, learn from incidents, and keep improving how the team ships.
• Raise productivity: Drive adoption of AI-enabled development tools and measure what changes.
• Partner across the business: Work with product and operations stakeholders to turn business needs into sound technical solutions.

Who are you?

• You make technical calls: You can evaluate a system design on your own and explain a time you changed an engineer's proposed approach.
• You own what ships: You've run production systems and can speak to reliability, incidents, and continuous improvement.
• You move fast without breaking quality: You're comfortable with frequent releases and know how to hold speed and quality together.
• Bonus points: Experience with logistics, warehouse, transportation, or other operational software is a plus.
