Lead, coach, and develop the team through regular 1:1s, performance feedback, career development, and hiring
Partner closely with the technical lead on architecture and technical strategy, ensuring product and technical decisions are aligned
Contribute hands-on to technical work when valuable - reviewing code, prototyping solutions, or unblocking critical path items

- Proven ability to build relationships with technical stakeholders and navigate competing priorities across multiple teams
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to articulate technical concepts and product strategy to diverse audiences
- Experience building tools or software for technical users, whether internal teams or external customers
- Track record of balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution and knowing when to do which
- Ability to earn credibility and respect from technical teams through technical competence and product judgment
- Comfortable with autonomy and accountability - ownership of outcomes, not just delivery of features
Above and Beyond Qualifications
- Experience in aviation or aerospace, with understanding of aircraft systems and operations
- Background working with real-time data systems, instrumentation, or embedded systems communication protocols (CAN, ARINC, etc.)
- Strong expertise in both Python and C++, with experience building high-performance systems and user-facing tools in these languages
- Previous experience building customer-facing products or tools that require packaging, distribution, and support at scale, including navigating open source licenses and compliance
- Formal product management experience or training, particularly with technical tools or infrastructure products
- Track record of successfully growing and scaling small teams (3-10 people) as scope and complexity increase
- Experience with developer tools, data visualization systems, or configuration management software
