- Develop your engineers: own career planning, promotions, coaching, and structured, continuous performance management.
- Plan and build the team: lead hiring, headcount planning, and resource allocation in line with the team's roadmap and the firm's priorities.
- Cultivate a healthy team: actively manage culture, morale, and productivity, and address conflict early and constructively.
- Lead with rhythm: hold regular one-on-ones, give clear and timely feedback, and invest in team building.
- Translate technical and business requirements into clear delivery plans, identifying dependencies with other teams and risks up front.
- Act as the liaison between Engineering, Trading, and Quant teams to design and roll out new products.

What you need to succeed:
Strong people-leadership skills: coaching, feedback, conflict resolution, and building an environment in which engineers thrive
Strong project management skills: experience building roadmaps, sequencing work, managing dependencies and risk, and driving delivery predictability in a fast-moving environment.
A technical or research background sufficient to earn the respect of the engineers you manage and to engage credibly in technical discussions.

A track record of delivering applied research through a team, balancing scope, quality, and timelines.
Sound judgment in hiring and developing talent.
Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including experience managing cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Trading, Quant).
