Important note about this role and the job title

We used a "VP" title for better discoverability, and to reflext the scope and seniority of this position, but our approach reflects our culture of distributed ownership and thematic leadership. You'll join us as our Engineering Delivery Lead — someone who leads on the subject of delivery excellence while being deeply integrated with teams. In our organization, leadership comes from expertise and impact on specific themes rather than traditional hierarchical management.

Job description

As our Engineering Delivery Lead, you'll unlock our delivery potential by helping our crews ship faster, smarter, and with greater impact while preserving the distributed ownership and async-first culture that makes us unique.

Working directly with all engineering teams and embedded with crews when needed, you'll focus on the operational excellence that turns great ideas into shipped features:

• Delivery Excellence: Partner with tech leads, PMs, and individual engineers to maintain sharp focus on delivery objectives. Participate in technical discussions to help teams navigate complex decisions without losing sight of user impact. Challenge estimates constructively and help teams break down work that's getting stuck in "tunnels."

• Process & Flow Optimization: Own and evolve our project management setup. Identify bottlenecks in our delivery pipeline and implement solutions that respect our culture of autonomy. Thrive in highly iterative, agile environments where requirements evolve and emerge rather than being fully defined upfront.

• Technical Leadership Support: Mentor and support our tech leads, helping them develop their delivery management skills. Provide coaching and guidance to engineers at all levels on delivery best practices. Contribute to defining clear career path expectations and growth frameworks. Create frameworks that enable distributed decision-making while maintaining alignment on objectives.

• Crew Coordination: Facilitate knowledge sharing between crews and ensure learnings from one team benefit others. Work directly with engineers to coordinate cross-crew dependencies and technical decisions that impact multiple teams.

• Engineering Culture: Act as a guardian of our engineering culture, ensuring that delivery improvements strengthen rather than weaken our values of transparency, ownership, and async-first collaboration.

• Strategic Operations: Take ownership of staffing decisions, resource allocation, and engineering operations. Partner with the exec team to align engineering capacity with business objectives.

This role embodies what makes our culture unique: you'll have significant impact and ownership while being embedded directly with engineering teams rather than sitting in a traditional management layer. You'll influence through expertise, clear communication, and by making everyone's job easier.
