😊 About You
You’ve been in the trenches, you’ve written code, shipped features, and fixed the prod in urgent times. You’ve learned thatquality isn’t optional when we scale a productand you bring that awareness to every decision you make today as an Engineering Manager. You know how to navigate technical architecture conversations with clarity and confidence but without falling into micromanagement.
You’re comfortable leading meetings with clients and you know how to adapt your level of communication, switching easily between business and technical. You know how to lead conversations that build trust, align stakeholders, and drive decisions. Whether you’re explaining product trade-offs, exploring integration options, or managing expectations, you bring clarity, structure, and focus to every discussion.
You operate confidently across both strategy and execution, stepping in when it counts and stepping back to let others lead when it empowers the team. You offer feedback with clarity and empathy, receive it with humility, and always keep your focus on long-term impact.
At sunday, developers pair regularly and much of our discussion happens on Gather. You need to be comfortable switching between async and live communication and know when to use each to keep things moving fast.
