About the role

  • Define and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Engineering Tools and Libraries, ensuring alignment with BETA's engineering and business objectives
  • Conduct continuous discovery with systems engineers, flight test engineers, maintainers, and other users to identify pain points and validate solutions
  • Make ruthless prioritization decisions across competing demands, balancing quick wins with long-term strategic investments
  • Lead, coach, and develop the team through regular 1:1s, performance feedback, career development, and hiring
  • Partner closely with the technical lead on architecture and technical strategy, ensuring product and technical decisions are aligned
  • Contribute hands-on to technical work when valuable - reviewing code, prototyping solutions, or unblocking critical path items
  • Build strong relationships with internal customers across engineering, flight test, and maintenance organizations
  • Define success metrics and track adoption, impact, and value delivery across all tools and libraries
  • Manage expectations and communicate product strategy, roadmap changes, and tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders and leadership

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of building tools, libraries, or infrastructure used by technical users, with proficiency in languages like Python, C++, or similar
  • Demonstrated product management skills including defining product strategy, conducting user research, and driving outcomes over outputs
  • Experience leading people, whether as a people manager, tech lead, or similar role with responsibility for others' growth and performance
  • Proven ability to build relationships with technical stakeholders and navigate competing priorities across multiple teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with ability to articulate technical concepts and product strategy to diverse audiences
  • Experience building tools or software for technical users, whether internal teams or external customers
  • Track record of balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution and knowing when to do which
  • Ability to earn credibility and respect from technical teams through technical competence and product judgment
  • Comfortable with autonomy and accountability - ownership of outcomes, not just delivery of features.
