The ETL is the "Captain" of a single squad. This is a "player-coach" role focused on delivery predictability, people leadership, and day-to-day execution. You are a Senior+ Engineer who manages people, not a manager who used to code; if you cannot open the IDE and debug a production issue, you cannot perform this role.

Delivery Mastery: Optimize the team’s "Idea to Production" cycle time and

Talent Density: Own 1:1s, performance calibration, hiring decisions, and succession planning for your squad of 6–9 engineers.

Hands-on Leadership: Spend ~50% of your time on system design and ~20% on

hands-on development like code reviews and unblocking technical issues.

Conflict Resolution: Mediate interpersonal or cross-team conflicts early to protect team cohesion and delivery.

BS Detector: Use your technical depth to spot unrealistic estimates, fragile designs, or risk blind spots.

Emergency Response: During critical incidents, jump in technically or coordinate the response effectively.

AI-Native Engineering: Lead the adoption of agentic tooling, LLM workflows, and AI automation within your team to accelerate the development lifecycle.

You have 5+ years of experience and have shipped production code recently.

You have an explicit desire to lead people but remain an active technical contributor.

You possess high emotional intelligence and resilience under pressure.

You are a strong unblocker who translates and synthesizes rather than just relaying messages.

Real ownership means real responsibility. From day one, you set the pace, make the decisions, and see your work land where it matters. You drive the outcomes, you celebrate the wins.

We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks. We raise the bar because we've seen what's possible when you don't settle.

You'll work with people who've shipped things most thought couldn't be done. Direct, down-to-earth, no egos. The kind of team where the best idea wins and everyone's genuinely glad when it does.

We're not waiting for AI to be ready. It already is - running inside banks, serving customers, solving problems that matter, out in the real world today.
