You own line management for a distributed team of Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists - running regular 1:1s, setting development goals, and driving performance reviews and career growth. You build a cohesive, high-trust team culture across countries and time zones, encouraging transparency, ownership, and continuous learning. You support the team's delivery cadence, remove blockers early, and drive engineering quality standards (CI/CD, code review, cloud automation, monitoring, documentation). You engage credibly in technical discussions, help the team make sound architectural decisions, and represent the team to stakeholders.
