The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Oversee a group of software developers responsible for live systems, developing them into self-directed owners of their areas.

- Set ownership boundaries and technical direction across the systems the team runs, including handoffs between components.
- Convert usage, quality, system health and capacity signals into a sequenced plan with clear acceptance criteria.
- Review key designs and code changes, and lead debugging, technical decisions and incident response.
- Use AI coding tools yourself and guide engineers in scoping, reviewing and verifying their AI-assisted work.
Requirements

- Two or more years of people leadership over developers who ship software into live environments.
- Strong system design and architecture skill, turning business needs into scalable technical solutions.
- Experience hiring, coaching and growing senior engineers into broader owners.
- At least 1 year at a high-growth startup or an AI-forward company.
- Track record shipping complex platforms, whether data-heavy, machine-learning driven, infrastructure or enterprise connectivity work.
- Daily, hands-on use of frontier AI tools in your workflow.
- At least one signal of excellence, such as a top school or a top employer.
- BS in computer science or a STEM-related field.
