Our take: The real work here is growing and supporting engineering managers so twenty to thirty people can deliver a mission well, while you hold a high technical bar you rarely touch with your own hands.

This is for someone who gets more energy from growing engineering managers than writing code, and who wants to shape how twenty or thirty people build things well. You will spin up new squads, hold a high bar for technical excellence, and spend your capital making an inclusive space where people do their best work. If you like real accountability paired with genuine flexibility over where and when you work, this will feel like home.
