The Sr.ETL is the "Captain" of a single squad. This is a squad leader role focused on delivery predictability, technical excellence, and day-to-day execution. You are a Senior+ Engineer who manages people, not a manager who used to code; if you cannot open the IDE and debug a production issue, you cannot perform this role. Meet the Job * Delivery Mastery: Optimize the team’s "Idea to Production" cycle time and strengthen delivery predictability. * BS Detector: Use your technical depth to spot unrealistic estimates, fragile designs, or risk blind spots. * Hands-on Leadership: Spend ~50% of your time on system design and ~20% on hands-on development like code reviews and unblocking technical issues. * Conflict Resolution: Mediate interpersonal or cross-team conflicts early to protect team cohesion and delivery. * Talent Density: Team growth performance calibration, involved in hiring, and succession planning for your squad of 6–9 engineers. * Emergency Response: During critical incidents, jump in technically or coordinate the response effectively. * AI-Native Engineering:



Lead the adoption of agentic tooling, LLM workflows, and AI automation within your team to accelerate the development lifecycle.
