Responsibilities
- ▹Define and continuously refine the operating model for the non-linear productivity pilot
- ▹Identify and prioritize high-leverage productivity opportunities across the SDLC (flaky tests, review latency, pipeline reliability, tooling gaps)
- ▹Translate a broad, ambiguous mandate into a concrete, time-boxed roadmap for a 3-month pilot window
- ▹Personally source, evaluate, and select 4 exceptional engineers for the pilot squad
- ▹Negotiate allocation models with each engineer's current engineering manager
- ▹Set the technical direction and working norms for a small, fast-moving team
- ▹Mentor the engineers on the team in root-cause diagnosis and shift-left thinking
- ▹Lead hands-on investigation to instrument and baseline the three top-level metrics (MRPM, pipeline success rate, pipeline latency)
