Engineering Delivery and Excellence Manager

• *About Wondrfly**

Wondrfly helps parents discover classes, camps, lessons, and activities for their children.

We're a small, ambitious team building in a rapidly changing market. AI is making software development faster than ever, which means speed, execution, and adaptability matter more than company size.

We're looking for an Engineering Delivery Lead who can help our team move faster, stay organized, and deliver high\-quality products consistently.

This is not a traditional manager role.

We're looking for someone who can combine technical understanding, strong execution, and leadership to help the entire engineering team perform at a higher level.

• *Note:** We’re a young startup. If your priority is to make money now, then this role **might not** be for you. However, if you’re looking for something more meaningful:

• If you want to be part of a superstar team that’s not just talented, but also humble and kind,
• If you're excited to build a game\-changing product from the ground up,
• If you're eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges,
• If you thrive on solving tough problems and working hard,
• If you're driven by the idea of making a real impact in the world,
• You want to grow (including financially) as we grow,

Then please keep reading!

• *What You'll Do**

Your job is simple: Help the engineering team build great software faster.

You'll work closely with our Principal Architect, who owns technical architecture and long\-term technical direction. Your focus is making sure work gets completed efficiently, blockers are removed quickly, and the team stays aligned and productive.

• *Your Responsibilities**

• *Keep Work Moving**

You will

• Know what everyone is working on
• Identify blockers quickly
• Help remove obstacles
• Make sure important work keeps moving forward
• Ensure commitments are met

If something is stuck, delayed, or unclear, you'll help drive it to resolution.

• *Improve Team Effectiveness**

You'll continuously look for ways to improve how we work.

Examples

• Reducing unnecessary meetings
• Improving communication
• Simplifying processes
• Eliminating wasted effort
• Improving coordination between team members

Your goal is to help the team spend more time building and less time waiting.

• *Drive Accountability**

You'll help create a culture where

• Commitments matter
• Risks are surfaced early
• Blockers are escalated quickly
• Ownership is expected
• Follow\-through is non\-negotiable

You don't let important work quietly drift.

• *Help Us Use AI Effectively**

We're investing heavily in AI\-assisted development. You don't need to invent new AI technologies. You do need to help the team take advantage of them.

Examples

• Encouraging effective AI development workflows
• Helping engineers adopt useful tools
• Sharing best practices
• Finding opportunities to automate repetitive work

• *Lead and Support Engineers**

You'll directly manage engineers and help them succeed.

This includes

• Coaching
• Providing feedback
• Helping solve problems
• Setting expectations
• Encouraging accountability

You should care about helping people improve.

• *Create Visibility**

The CEO should never have to wonder

• What's being worked on?
• What's blocked?
• What's shipping next?
• What risks should we know about?

You help create that visibility.

• *What Success Looks Like**

After 3 Months

• Work moves through the team more smoothly
• Blockers are identified and resolved quickly
• Engineers communicate more proactively
• Delivery becomes more predictable
• The CEO spends less time coordinating engineering work

After 12 Months

• The team ships faster
• Product quality improves
• AI tools are part of everyday development
• Engineers are more productive
• The organization operates like a much larger team

• *What We're Looking For**

• *Ownership**

You don't wait for someone else to solve problems. If something needs attention, you step in and help move it forward.

• *Urgency**

You don't let important work sit.

You follow up.

You communicate.

You drive things to completion.

• *Strong Communication**

You keep people informed.

You raise concerns early.

You create clarity rather than confusion.

• *Accountability**

When you commit to something, you follow through.

If something changes, you communicate early.

• *Technical Understanding**

You don't need to be the strongest engineer on the team. But you do need enough technical understanding to:

• Earn engineers' respect
• Understand technical discussions
• Evaluate tradeoffs
• Make informed decisions

• *Low Ego**

You care more about helping the team succeed than being right. You work well with strong personalities and strong technical contributors.

• *Technical Qualifications**

We are looking for a technical leader who understands modern software development and can effectively partner with senior engineers and architects.

You should be comfortable

• Reading and reviewing production code
• Participating in technical design discussions
• Evaluating engineering tradeoffs
• Understanding system architecture at a high level
• Identifying technical risks early
• Helping engineers make sound technical decisions
• Understanding how AI is changing software development

You do not need to be the strongest engineer on the team. However, you should have enough technical depth that engineers trust your judgment and respect your perspective.

• *Ideal Background**

Most successful candidates will have previously worked as one or more of the following:

• Senior Software Engineer
• Technical Lead
• Lead Full Stack Engineer
• Engineering Manager with hands\-on coding responsibilities
• Startup Engineering Lead

This role is not intended for candidates whose experience is primarily:

• Project Management
• Scrum Management
• Program Management
• Delivery Coordination

without meaningful software engineering experience.

• *Technical Experience**

Preferred experience includes

• Modern web application development
• Frontend and backend systems
• Cloud platforms such as AWS
• API design and integrations
• AI\-assisted development workflows
• Small, fast\-moving engineering teams

Experience with our exact stack is helpful but not required

• Angular
• Node.js

• *This Role Is NOT For You If**

• You need constant direction
• You avoid difficult conversations
• You frequently miss commitments
• You wait for problems to solve themselves
• You struggle in fast\-moving startup environments
• You prefer managing from a distance rather than helping the team succeed
• You are uncomfortable with accountability
• You lack hands\-on software engineering experience

• *Why Join Wondrfly**

You'll have a direct impact on how we build our product and how our engineering team operates.

You'll work closely with company leadership, help shape our engineering culture, and play an important role in helping Wondrfly grow.

We're looking for someone who enjoys building, improving, solving problems, and helping teams perform at their best.
