Run the day-to-day operations of a distributed engineering team, including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives. - Risk & Dependency Management:
Own the dependency maps, blocker logs, and mitigation plans. Escalate to the CEO proactively before a problem becomes a crisis. - Knowledge Management:
Maintain the central knowledge base (architecture decisions, meeting notes, onboarding docs, and product specs) to ensure team alignment.
- Budget Tracking:
Track budget actuals versus forecasts monthly and flag any variances proactively. - Cloud &
Infrastructure: Manage cloud provider consoles (AWS/GCP) for resource provisioning and developer access (IAM/Route
53). - Environment Parity:
Audit Dev, Staging, and Production setups to ensure they match the product’s architectural requirements.
