What you'll do
Lead, develop, and grow a team of senior engineers, owning hiring, performance, and career development.
Drive end to end delivery of real time voice features from architecture: through to production, holding a high bar for quality and pace at the same time.
Own the technical direction for your team's systems. Stay close enough to the: detail to challenge senior engineers credibly and to get into the code yourself when it helps.
Work in a tight loop with your Principal Product Manager and senior technical: lead, shaping what gets built rather than receiving a finished plan.
Operate confidently at the boundary with applied science. Understand how: inference, preprocessing, and training data drift affect the product, and translate between model realities and delivery commitments.
Make and communicate clear technical trade offs under real constraints,: including latency budgets, model quality, and timelines.
What they're looking for
- Spot risks and gaps beyond your own remit and fix them properly, leaving the: teams around you better off rather than just unblocking yourself.
- Build a high agency, low bureaucracy culture where engineers are trusted to: make decisions and take genuine ownership of outcomes.
- You have managed engineers directly and owned a team's delivery, performance,: and development. You have hired people, grown them, and handled the difficult conversations as well as the good ones.
- You are a builder. You are comfortable in the trenches, you have real: technical skills, and you have no interest in managing from a distance. If your hands on skills are a little rusty, that is fine, as long as you want to stay close to the work.
