Lead and manage an engineering squad focusing on delivery predictability, people leadership, and hands-on technical contribution.

The ETL is the "Captain" of a single squad. This is a "player-coach" role focused on delivery predictability, people leadership, and day-to-day execution. You are a Senior+ Engineer who manages people, not a manager who used to code; if you cannot open the IDE and debug a production issue, you cannot perform this role.
Delivery Mastery: Optimize the team’s "Idea to Production" cycle time and strengthen delivery predictability.
Talent Density: Own 1:1s, performance calibration, hiring decisions, and succession planning for your squad of 6–9 engineers.
Hands-on Leadership: Spend ~50% of your time on system design and ~20% on hands-on development like code reviews and unblocking technical issues.
Conflict Resolution: Mediate interpersonal or cross-team conflicts early to protect team cohesion and delivery.
BS Detector: Use your technical depth to spot unrealistic estimates, fragile designs, or risk blind spots.
Emergency Response: During critical incidents, jump in technically or coordinate the response effectively.
AI-Native Engineering: Lead the adoption of agentic tooling, LLM workflows, and AI automation within your team to accelerate the development lifecycle.

You have 5+ years of experience and have shipped production code recently.
You have an explicit desire to lead people but remain an active technical contributor.
You possess high emotional intelligence and resilience under pressure.
You are a strong unblocker who translates and synthesizes rather than just relaying messages.
