What you will do

Lead, coach, and develop people across the intern program, maintenance, Quality Engineering (QE), and Solutions Engineering (SE), while partnering closely with team leads on technical direction.
Build clear goals and development plans for direct reports. Run effective 1:1s, deliver actionable feedback, and create meaningful opportunities for career growth.
Own the intern program from recruiting through conversion, including university partnerships, candidate selection, onboarding, mentorship, cohort programming, performance feedback, and offboarding.
Build a repeatable intern experience that connects academic learning with meaningful production engineering work.
Lead the operating model for the intern-staffed maintenance team. Partner with technical leads to prioritize bugs, performance issues, and technical debt while improving cycle time, backlog health, and learning outcomes.
Drive QE priorities and quarterly initiatives, including performance testing with k6 and performance monitoring through Grafana or equivalent tools.

What you need

3+ years of experience managing engineers or technical teams, ideally across multiple disciplines or team types.
A strong software engineering foundation and the technical judgment to engage credibly in quality, performance, maintenance, and customer-facing engineering conversations.
Experience recruiting, coaching, and developing technical talent, including interns or early-career engineers.
Experience running an internship, apprenticeship, or similar early-career program. Experience partnering with universities or academic institutions is a plus.

Experience managing multiple teams, workstreams, or stakeholder groups with different priorities and operating rhythms.
Strong cross-functional skills, particularly when working across Engineering, CX/Support, and external partners.
Practical AI fluency. You use AI tools in real workflows to improve speed, quality, analysis, or decision support, not simply to generate text.
The ability to design AI-assisted workflows that combine strong prompts, structured context, tool use, verification, and human judgment.
Strong analytical judgment. You can turn operational metrics into clear priorities and actions.
Strong written and verbal communication, including experience presenting recommendations and results to engineering leadership.
