Description:

 - Digitalising maritime logistics with the Athena platform

Job Description: Own the delivery cadence for an early-stage startup digitalising workforce management in global ports. Working directly with founders and engineering, you will run sprints, triage bug queues, and manage scope to ensure the Athena platform scales. You will translate product goals into actionable technical work streams for a high-performing 8-person team.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Shape the engineering delivery processes from scratch as one of the first ten employees in a fast-growing team.

What you will do:

• Lead agile ceremonies and sprint planning to ensure engineering teams stay focused on high-priority delivery goals.
• Triage technical issue queues and route bugs with full context by understanding APIs, databases, and system components.
• Manage project scope proactively by identifying blockers, assessing feasibility, and pushing back on feature creep to meet deadlines.

The ideal candidate:

• 3-6 years of experience delivering software projects, preferably with a background in both structured engineering and startup environments.
• Highly technical literacy with the ability to read codebases, understand technical documentation, and navigate CI/CD or release management.
• Proven mastery of project management tools like Jira or Linear to track complex work streams and surface risks early.
