This is a people-first leadership role for an engineering leader who has previously built or scaled a team, not simply inherited one. You will be responsible for hiring, developing, and retaining a high-performing team; partnering with Product and Design on roadmap and execution; and maintaining a high bar for engineering quality, delivery velocity, and enterprise alignment. The team will operate under an AI-native product/software development methodology, and you will be responsible for establishing what disciplined, high-quality AI-assisted delivery looks like from day one. You should be technical enough to earn the team's credibility, while ultimately measured by the team's output rather than your own. This is a foundational role. You are not inheriting a running team - you are building one. What You'll Do Build the Team * Lead the hiring and onboarding of engineers across levels, with a focus on San Diego-based talent. * Establish team norms, operating cadences, and a culture of ownership and craft from the team's inception. * Identify capability gaps early and address them through hiring, development, or cross-team partnership. Drive Delivery * Own the team's end-to-end delivery, including planning, execution, and operational health. * Partner with Product Management to translate strategy into a sequenced, achievable roadmap for provider-facing sleep health diagnostics solutions. * Maintain a high standard for quality, security, and compliance while balancing delivery pace. * Identify and remove delivery blockers, escalating appropriately when required. Establish AI-Native Development as the Team's Default * Stand up and continuously refine an AI-native product/software development methodology for the team, from specification through code through review. * Ensure the team builds on enterprise architecture blueprints, shared platforms, and DevX standards. * Create the conditions for disciplined AI-assisted engineering practices to take hold, with correctness, security, and maintainability treated as non-negotiable. * Conduct or delegate rigorous design and code reviews, making engineering standards visible and consistent. Lead Across the Organization * Represent the San Diego team in cross-functional forums with clarity and credibility. * Build effective working relationships with peer engineering managers, platform teams, and enterprise architects. * Surface risks, dependencies, and trade-offs early to enable timely decision-making. Develop Your Engineers * Conduct regular 1:1s, calibrations, and growth conversations. * Sponsor stretch assignments and create visibility for strong performers. * Build a team capable of developing its own Staff and Senior engineers over time. ## Related Videos - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [AI in High-Stakes Industries: Lessons Learned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100253-ai-in-high-stakes-industries-lessons-learned) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Will AI replace Software Engineers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/340-will-ai-replace-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
