Role Description Roughly 70% of the job is managing agents, 30% managing people.

On the people side you coach and manage a distributed team, and act as a sharp technical partner to the CTO. It's built for an EM or tech lead manager who wants to get more hands-on, not less.

Qualifications - You already run 10+ agents to build and research, daily. - You've managed engineers as an EM or tech lead manager, and want to get more hands-on. - You're a sharp engineer, not a manager who stopped coding. - You dive into the details and drive the business outcomes. - You coach engineers well and people want to work for you. - You've managed a distributed team across time zones.
