Head of Product Engineering

Job Description

What The Day-to-day Looks Like

Here’s what a typical week might include:

• Monday. One of your dev leads mentions that a senior engineer is technically excellent but never gives feedback to teammates. You and the lead prep the conversation together
• Tuesday. You’re rethinking how a whole product team operates. Half the workflow, from ticket refinement to test coverage to first-pass code review, could be handled by AI agents. You sketch out what a 5-person team looks like when it ships like a 15-person team, then sit down with the lead to start rebuilding their process around it
• Wednesday. Quarterly planning session with product. One team’s roadmap is overloaded. You push back, simplify the scope, and get alignment on what actually moves the number
• Thursday. Skip-level with two engineers. One flags that deploys are taking 40 minutes and nobody’s prioritized it. You add it to next sprint. The other tells you their lead hasn’t given them any feedback in weeks. You huddle the lead afterwards
• Friday. Deep dive with the data team on a new creator scoring model. You’re not writing the code, but you’re asking the right questions about what “great” looks like and how fast we can ship a first version
  

This is a people-first role. You don’t need to be the best engineer in the room. You need to be the person who makes everyone around you better.

Requirements

What you’ve done before

• Led leaders. You’ve managed engineering managers or team leads, not just ICs. Coaching isn’t new to you
• Built and shipped real products. Ideally in a product or SaaS company. You know what it takes to get software out the door
• Built through growth. You’ve either scaled an eng org through a high-growth phase or built one from early stage. Either way, you’ve seen what breaks when things move fast and you know how to get ahead of it
• Handled hard people problems. Not in theory. You’ve improved quality when it was slipping, grown people who needed a push, and given feedback that was uncomfortable but necessary
• Shipped with urgency. You don’t wait for permission, you don’t need external pressure, and you’d rather act than have another meeting about acting
• You’ve made AI multiply your team. You’ve helped engineers adopt AI tooling in real workflows. You think about AI as leverage for the team you have, not a replacement for the team you need
