Train as an Incident Commander. Drive coordination, resolution, and post-incident follow-up
Lead blameless post-incident reviews
Have 5+ years of engineering background, with enough depth to be credible with engineers building complex systems
Have 3+ years managing remote engineering teams
Have managed engineering teams at a cloud, SaaS, or developer tools company. Experience with developer tools or databases is a strong preference, but we'll consider any sufficiently technical background where you can demonstrate the ability to ramp on a new domain
Have managed remote, globally distributed teams that work asynchronously across disparate time zones
Are technical enough to be credible with strong engineers, but genuinely passionate about people management. This is the work you want to do, not a track you're settling for
Build psychological safety and a feedback culture: you give feedback often and in the moment, ask for it back, and create space for the team to do the same
Operate as a multiplier. Focused on helping individuals achieve more than they could alone, not on being the best technical voice in the room
Coach rather than direct. Remove blockers, connect people to context and resources, and trust your engineers to own how the work gets done
Have a real track record of performance management and can speak to specific examples of difficult conversations and how you navigated them
Are comfortable with ambiguity and capable of building structure where there isn't much
Communicate clearly and write well. You're default async, default written, set context proactively, and surface risks early
Are collaborative, low-ego, and adaptable. You thrive working with high-autonomy, senior ICs who have strong technical opinions and don't need to be the smartest person in the room
