Establish and maintain 3-month roadmaps for each team, aligned with Product priorities
Ensure consistent execution: clear milestones, weekly project updates, and accountability across teams
Build and scale the teams through active hiring, onboarding, and career development
Ensure engineering standards (project tracking, alerting, on-call, autoscaling, high availability, etc) are met
Foster strong collaboration across teams and with Product and other Engineering Leaders
Provide technical direction while empowering team experts

What you bring:

Familiarity with the Postgres ecosystem (e.g. internals, FDWs, storage systems, ETL/change data capture) is essential, with the ability to go deep in at least 1–2 areas

Proven experience managing multiple engineering teams and delivering complex technical projects
Experience managing remote, globally distributed teams
Strong organizational and execution skills: able to set roadmaps, drive accountability, and ensure delivery under uncertainty
Experience hiring, scaling, and mentoring engineering teams
Experience managing teams building developer tools or infrastructure products
Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with Product and other Engineering leadership
A collaborative, low-ego approach with the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities
