Cerebro is looking for a hands-on technical leader who can both ship code and run high‑velocity engineering teams. You will own every technical deliverable—from MERN‑stack web apps to mobile, cloud infrastructure, and our data‑heavy API—while turning fast‑moving business and basketball requirements into scalable architecture, clear roadmaps, and shipped features.
Architect & Code – Design system architecture (React/Node, TypeScript, GCP/AWS, CI/CD), dive into the codebase to build features or unblock developers, and uphold code quality standards.
Manage & Mentor – Drive sprint planning in Linear, track velocity, remove blockers, and coach on‑shore/off‑shore engineers.
Product Alignment – Translate sales and basketball priorities into technical plans, balancing speed vs. tech debt and allocating the right developers to each task.
Dev Ops & Reliability – Own cloud deployments, automated testing, observability, and incident response to meet uptime and security SLAs.
Stakeholder Communication – Provide crisp weekly updates, KPIs, and risk summaries to the exec team and department leads.
Process Improvement – Continuously refine workflows, tooling, and documentation to keep the team fast, predictable, and scalable.
7+ years of professional software engineering, including 3+ years managing developers.
Proven track record delivering full‑stack TypeScript/JavaScript (React, Node, Mongo/Postgres) products at scale.
Deep expertise with GCP or AWS, Kubernetes/Cloud Run, CI/CD pipelines, and Dev Ops best practices.
Mastery of Agile/Scrum, backlog grooming, and Linear (or Jira) reporting.
Excellent communicator able to translate one‑line requests into clear tickets and executive‑level summaries.
Passion for—or willingness to ramp quickly on—basketball analytics and data‑driven decision‑making.
Experience with data‑heavy APIs or sports / gaming platforms.
Background in mobile (React Native or Flutter) build & release pipelines.
Prior success in a startup or high‑growth, resource‑constrained environment.
Remote (U.S. only).
Expected bandwidth: 40‑60 hours per week, with flexibility to accommodate periodic product launches or critical incidents.
