• Coach and develop the engineering team
• Develop engineers through clear feedback, meaningful ownership, career support, and hiring as the team’s needs evolve.
• Stay technically engaged through architecture reviews, pairing, and code where it helps the team most; strengthen testing, observability, incident response, and safe migration practices.
• Partner across Sanity
• Work with Product, Growth, Finance, RevOps, Support, and engineering teams to make pricing and billing requirements clear, surface trade-offs early, and protect customer trust.
• Keep existing partner integrations reliable and aligned with upstream API changes.
• Measure impact through billing accuracy, self-service adoption, commercial lead time, and operational health.

About you:

• You communicate technical designs and trade-offs clearly, in writing and in conversation, with both engineers and non-technical partners.
• You have proven experience managing engineers and delivering software at a product or SaaS company, backed by a substantial hands-on engineering background.
• You’ve led backend or platform systems where correctness and reliability matter.
• Experience in billing, payments, usage metering, subscriptions, or entitlements is especially useful.
• You turn ambiguity into clear priorities, deliver incrementally, and can show how your team’s work improved customer or b
