What is The Role
What You Will Be Doing
- Manage and grow a team of engineers responsible for building and maintaining Elastic UI (EUI) and other shared design system infrastructure across Global UX.
- Own the team's delivery cadence - sprint planning, quarterly roadmap, outcomes, and status reporting to stakeholders across Elastic.
- Run hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career growth for engineers on the team.
- Build strong team culture and health in a fully distributed, async-first environment.
- Represent Global UX in cross-functional planning with other engineering, design, and product leadership across Elastic.
- Remove blockers for the team: negotiate dependencies with other teams, address organizational friction, and escalate risks early.
- Track adoption and health metrics for the design system (usage, satisfaction, migration progress) and use them to inform roadmap priorities.
- Build relationships with teams that consume the design system, gathering feedback and making sure their needs shape the roadmap.
- Support the team's experiments with AI-assisted design-to-code workflows and developer tools. Balance innovation with delivery commitments.
What You Bring
- Previous experience managing engineering teams that build and maintain design systems, component libraries, or similarly widely-consumed shared UI or platform infrastructure.
- Experience running delivery cadence - sprint planning, quarterly planning, roadmapping, and outcomes for a team that serves many internal stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of frontend engineering (React, TypeScript, component architecture) sufficient to make credible technical tradeoffs alongside your Tech Lead and engineers.
- Experience hiring, developing, and retaining engineers, with a track record of growing people into more senior roles.
- Robust stakeholder management skills. Comfortable sharing the roadmap, tradeoffs, and risks with engineering, design, and product leaders.
- A track record of balancing platform and foundational investment against the urgent feature requests of consuming teams.
- Deep written and verbal communication skills, with experience working in a distributed, async-first team.
- Experience using data and adoption metrics (usage, satisfaction, migration progress) to inform roadmap decisions.
- A collaborative leadership style that earns trust from your engineering team without needing to be the most technical person in the room.
- Curiosity about how AI is changing design-to-code workflows and developer tooling, and comfort helping a team adopt new practices responsibly.
