element451 - Team Lead, Delivery Management

• Lives our values, and builds team culture through behavior, not policy. • Is excellent by default — visibly unsatisfied with mediocre outcomes, without ruling through fear. • Leads as a player-coach — willing to go hands-on when the team needs it, and to step back as it grows. • Leads with service — removes obstacles for the team rather than managing around them. • Puts the team first — builds cohesion, celebrates collective wins, and addresses friction before it compounds. • Communicates with clarity and honesty — delivers hard feedback, escalates hard problems, and advocates for the team. • Treats feedback as a gift, and gives it to the team generously and well. • 6+ years of professional software engineering in a complex, multi-tenant SaaS product, including meaningful hands-on technical work. • 1+ years leading engineers — as a manager, tech lead, or team lead. This can be your first formal management role, but you’ve owned outcomes through other people before. • Enough technical depth in our stack — PHP/Laravel, TypeScript (NestJS/Angular), MongoDB, AWS — to engage substantively in architecture discussions, review PRs, and make sound trade-off calls. • A track record of delivering — owning velocity, predictability, and quality for a team or significant scope, all the way through to production. • Comfort operating within a cycle-based product development methodology; familiarity with Shape Up or a comparable approach is a plus. • A genuine commitment to building an AI-forward team. We’re a Cursor shop; Claude Code, Codex, or comparable tools are equally valued. • Strong communication at both the engineering-detail and leadership-summary levels — effective in 1:1s, team retrospectives, and leadership reviews alike. • Impactful not Immediate - We prioritize and invest in initiatives that will be most impactful. • Progress before Perfection - We are action-oriented people. We are empowered to make decisions and achieve our goals. • Learners before Masters - We are curious and humble people who strive to constantly improve. • Together not Alone - We rally behind each other and pitch in to support the greater whole. • Customer Success not Support - We solve partner goals and prioritize their success. • Our Interview Process • Our process is rigorous and designed to be a real signal — for you and for us. Expect live, interactive technical and leadership assessment with our engineers and leaders, not take-home busywork or trivia. You’ll show how you think about delivery, how you lead and grow a team, how you stay hands-on, and how you apply AI tooling in real time. We move quickly for the right people and give you a clear view of the bar before you accept.
