Must work during regular US business hours and participate in remote standups and recurring meetings via Teams), The engineering organization * Own how teams are shaped and how work flows, so each team owns a customer journey end to end and can ship without waiting on the others. * Build technical leadership depth. Name owners for cross-cutting decisions, document the engineering strategy, and grow leads who run their teams independently. AI-first delivery * Make AI-assisted development the default: AI in the standard workflow from spec to code to review, with automated test generation and evals wired into continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). Track the impact at the team level: cycle time and throughput against a pre-adoption baseline. * Set the standards and review practices that keep the codebase coherent and secure as AI raises code volume. Engineering-owned quality * Build a culture where engineers own quality end to end, with automated testing and CI/CD carrying the load. * Make engineering health measurable: bug frequency, change-failure rate, on-call load, uptime, and time-to-merge, tracked quarter over quarter so the org can see its own trend. Yourgi Connect and platform scale * Own the technical plan for Yourgi Connect: real-time availability, reservation, and booking against a national network of physical centers, built so adding a market doesn't mean rebuilding. * Turn shared backend capability into platform services the product teams consume, so each new surface launches faster than the last. Delivery rhythm and metrics * Own the operating cadence and release train (continuous deployment, feature flags, a rotating release captain, on-call) that lets teams ship independently, and put the DORA delivery metrics (deploy frequency, lead time, change-failure rate, time to restore) in front of leadership. * Partner with Product so engineering leads co-own acceptance criteria and own the technical breakdown. People, budget, and tooling * Own hiring, leveling, growth, and performance. Build the management bench, with individual-contributor and manager tracks that give strong engineers a path. * Own the budget and tooling spend, invested deliberately across talent and modern tooling. ## 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) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [How to govern Vibe Coding for the Enterprise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100290-how-to-govern-vibe-coding-for-the-enterprise) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [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) - [The AI-Ready Stack: Rethinking the Engineering Org of the Future](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1706-the-ai-ready-stack-rethinking-the-engineering-org-of-the-future) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
