📋 Description

• Manage and coach a team of Software Developers, fostering talent growth, skill development, and career advancement. • Work as part of the technical leadership group to help shape the roadmap and make sure the team understands the direction, priorities, and tradeoffs. • Maintain a team culture where people share context, review each other’s work seriously, mentor one another, and take pride in the quality of what they ship. • Contribute directly to software development, including design, implementation, debugging, code review, and technical decision-making. • Set a high bar for engineering practices across development, delivery, security, testing, documentation, and operations. • Keep projects moving by clarifying scope, breaking down work, managing dependencies, and raising risks. • Partner with product, QA, design, support, and other development teams to coordinate work and make sure technical plans connect to real user and business needs. • Troubleshoot complex issues, including production problems, with occasional support outside regular working hours when the situation calls for it (which is rare). • Stay current with relevant technologies and industry changes, especially where they can improve the product, the codebase, or the way the team works. • Encourage thoughtful use of AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, code quality, documentation, and the overall developer experience. • Take on other technical leadership responsibilities as the team and business evolve. • After 1 week: You’ve been introduced to all of the Shift development teams. • After 1 month: You will know our product and major initiatives. • After 6 months: You will feel confident in your role and will be making meaningful contributions.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of professional software development experience, including substantial work in C++, Objective-C, C, or similar systems-level languages. • 3+ years of experience leading or managing software developers, including responsibility for coaching, feedback, delivery, and team health. • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented design, debugging, code review, testing, and maintainable system design. • Experience working in large, complex codebases where good judgment, patience, and attention to detail matter. • Experience using AI-assisted development tools in day-to-day engineering work, with the judgment to know where they help, where they do not, and how to keep quality, security, and maintainability high. • Comfortable balancing hands-on development with people leadership, project planning, and cross-functional coordination. • Able to break down ambiguous technical work, manage competing priorities, and guide projects through to release. • Clear communicator who can explain complex technical ideas to different audiences. • Collaborative by default, but decisive when the team needs clarity or forward motion. • Comfortable working with distributed teams across multiple time zones. • BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • Previous experience working on Chromium, a Chromium-based product, browser internals, or another large native desktop application (Nice to have). • Experience with modern software delivery workflows (Nice to have). • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell (Nice to have). • Familiarity with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or TypeScript (Nice to have).
