Responsibilities

• People Leadership & Team Development:
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of high performing engineers.
• Run performance reviews, calibration, career-path conversations, and PD chats. Set and hold a high bar.
• Own hiring for the pod — partner with recruiting on sourcing, calibration, and closing top devops / platform / infra talent.
• Build a culture of ownership, customer-empathy (engineering is your customer), and continuous improvement.
• Roadmap & Strategy:
• Own the EngProd 12–18 month roadmap. Translate company-level OKRs into a prioritized backlog of investments.
• Build a structured intake and prioritization process across pods, treating other engineering teams as customers with real needs and real tradeoffs.
• Drive Engineering-as-a-Product thinking — every initiative should have a clear customer (another pod), a measurable outcome, and a leverage story that compounds across multiple pods.
• Champion paved-road tooling and self-service over bespoke, one-off solutions — make the right way the easy way.
• Champion measurement: stand up the Engineering Excellence KPIs, dashboards, and metrics that let Baton manage what it cares about (CI duration, deploy frequency, MTTR, cost per service, etc.).
• Execution & Cross-Org Communication:
• Run sprint planning, project planning, and milestone tracking. Maintain a healthy roadmap and risk register.
• Represent EngProd in EngStaff and cross-pod syncs. Communicate status, risks, and tradeoffs to executive stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
• Partner with TPMs and peer engineering managers (DaPla, ML, ProPla, Radius, CVIZ) to negotiate scope, unblock dependencies, and deliver value.
• Technical Leadership:
• Drive and review engineering specs. Weigh in on architectural decisions for CI/CD, testing infrastructure, observability, cloud infra, IaC, secrets/IAM, and developer tooling.
• Own Ryder relationships for cloud infrastructure, security, and networking — navigating enterprise constraints while preserving startup velocity.
• Partner with the Technical Support organization on issues and escalations
• Stay technically credible enough to lead — without becoming the bottleneck. Empower senior engineers to own their domains.
• Partner with our other Platform pods to ensure EngProd investments compound across the broader Baton platform.

• Comfortable communicating technical strategy and tradeoffs to executive stakeholders.
• Experience operating in B2B SaaS or enterprise environments where reliability, scale, and customer SLAs matter.
