Before You Apply — A Message from Our Founder
For generations, women have navigated systems never built with them in mind. The gaps in leadership, health, wealth, and opportunity were engineered into the world we inherited—and now, for the first time, we have the tools to build something better. AI gives us the chance to design technology that truly partners with the women and organizations working tirelessly to advance women and girls. Being trusted to do this work is both a privilege and a responsibility, and I am looking for people who feel that responsibility as deeply as I do.
Uplevyl is not a conventional workplace. We have a distinct culture. We exist to create meaningful impact for society, and we hold ourselves to a standard of moving fast while delivering quality that endures. We partner only with those who share our commitment to doing important work, and we build technology that opens doors, expands opportunity, and enables more people to participate and benefit.
We hire only A-players and compensate them accordingly. We do not compromise on talent, and we part ways respectfully when performance does not meet the standards required by our mission. Everyone at Uplevyl wears multiple hats. No task is beneath anyone. Decisions are driven by merit, not hierarchy. We prioritize customers over internal convenience, avoid politics, and maintain zero tolerance for unnecessary bureaucracy.
We move with urgency because the mission demands it. When the work calls for it, we stretch beyond traditional hours—not out of obligation, but out of genuine commitment to building something transformative. We look for people energized by bold problems, people who find meaning in momentum and possibility, and who bring a proactive, high-ownership mindset to everything they do. If you thrive in environments where innovation, purpose, and high standards come together, you will feel at home at Uplevyl.
Job Description
The Technical Delivery Manager owns the architecture, delivery machinery, and engineering operating model of the platform.
This role exists to build a reliable engineering system where architecture, delivery processes, and team ownership enable consistent execution — without relying on individual heroics.
Platform Context
The platform is a multi-tenant SaaS system with AI capabilities serving enterprise clients, nonprofits, and community hubs.
Technology environment
1.Frontend: React / Next.js
2.Backend: Node.js / Python
3. Mobile ( React Native – ios & Android )
3.Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Cognito, S3, lambda, etc), GCP ( Vector AI etc)
4.Tooling: GitHub, Jira, Confluence
The organization is transitioning toward an AI-first engineering model, where AI-assisted development and documentation-first workflows are core to the operating model.
Role Responsibilities
Systems Builder
Move the team from individual problem solving to building systems that consistently deliver outcomes.
- Create scalable engineering processes including documented architecture, CI/CD pipelines, release governance, and delivery workflows
- Build systems that reduce single points of failure across teams
- Establish operational discipline that persists beyond any individual engineer
Documentation-First Engineering
Address context fragmentation by enforcing documentation as the foundation of delivery.
- Implement structured delivery flows
- BRD → PRD → Solution Design → Implementation → QA
- Ensure architecture and implementation decisions are clearly documented
- Enable developers to execute tickets with full context and minimal dependency on verbal knowledge transfer
AI-First Engineering
Lead the shift toward AI-assisted engineering workflows.
- Integrate AI code generation tools such as Devin, Cursor, Copilot, and Amazon Q
- Establish engineering processes where developers operate as architects, reviewers, and system thinkers
- Design automated pipelines including
- spec compilation → code generation → automated testing → security scanning → release
Delivery Discipline and Transparency
Own the engineering delivery framework with clear operational metrics.
- Implement a weekly engineering scorecard including DORA metrics, stability and performance tracking, hiring pipeline visibility, and cost dashboards
- Maintain a living risk register and launch readiness documentation
- Establish estimation discipline with clear velocity and defect benchmarks
- Govern releases with readiness checklists, freeze windows, go/no-go decisions, and rollback planning
Multi-Tenant Architecture Ownership
Provide technical leadership for the platform’s architecture.
- Design and govern multi-tenant SaaS architecture including tenant isolation, RBAC, enterprise SSO, and data boundaries
- Publish HLD and LLD documentation and lead design reviews
- Define non-functional requirements including SLOs, latency targets, error budgets, and cost ceilings
- Identify and address architectural gaps or technical debt such as authentication design, environment isolation, and PII handling
Team Leadership and Multiplication
Scale engineering capacity through strong ownership and structured collaboration.
- Operate through delivery leaders where engineers own end-to-end delivery of assigned projects
- Establish structured onboarding and knowledge transfer processes for new hires
- Ensure designers, QA, and product teams collaborate directly with responsible engineering owners rather than routing decisions through a single individual
Cultural & Work-Style Skills
1. Low Ego, High Contribution
You collaborate across disciplines, share knowledge openly, and welcome feedback on architecture, code, and decisions. You care more about building the right system than about being “right.”
2. Ownership From Design to Delivery
You think beyond tickets. You take responsibility for the full lifecycle of what you build including architecture, implementation, testing, reliability, and iteration. You solve problems end-to-end rather than waiting for perfect specifications.
3. Mission-Driven Urgency With Technical Depth
You move quickly when needed, but never at the expense of long-term stability. You can distinguish when to build fast and when to build right and you communicate trade-offs clearly.
4. Agility in Ambiguity
You are comfortable building in evolving environments with partial information. You prototype, test assumptions early, reduce dependencies, and find creative paths through constraints.
5. Purpose-Fueled Resilience & Curiosity
You stay steady when debugging complex issues, you learn rapidly, and you adapt as the product and architecture evolve. You draw energy from solving meaningful problems and building systems that open doors for millions of women.
