We are looking for an engineering manager to own delivery end to end so the founder can step out of the day-to-day loop. You run the cadences, track every active project, surface risk early, and you're the first escalation point when something breaks. You lead through clear writing and good decisions, not status theater. A Manager of One who creates Managers of One.

Why Join Us?

What You'll Do

- Track everything. Know the state of every active project and surface risk before it becomes a fire.
- Own delivery metrics. Cycle time, review latency, and reliability. Use them humanely, not as a stick.
