ABOUT ANDO Ando is building AI-native workforce infrastructure for the 80M hourly workers in the U.S. and hundreds of millions globally. Labor is the last broken supply chain. Forecasting, allocation, and professional identity remain fragmented across static tools and manual decision-making. Ando is rebuilding this system from first principles. We start with highly accurate AI-generated demand forecasts, move to allocation-first labor optimization, and compound value through a persistent labor graph that captures skills, reliability, availability, and performance across time and employers. Over time, this becomes a professional identity layer and intelligent system serving both enterprises and frontline workers. Ando is a Seed-stage company backed by Slow Ventures and experienced operators. We are live with real customers and entering a phase where architectural clarity, learning loops, and AI systems quality are foundational to long-term success. THE ROLE We're a small team shipping fast across a lot of surface area, and engineering velocity and delivery predictability are company-level goals this year. This role is the engine for both. You'll own our agile process and turn product priorities into execution plans engineering can actually deliver. You'll be hands-on and technically literate — embedded with engineering, not running meetings from the outside — including helping us evolve a development workflow where AI agents do a meaningful share of the implementation work. WHAT YOU'LL OWN * The agile process, end-to-end — a hybrid of Sprint/Scrum for committed work and continuous Kanban for interrupts, bugs, and maintenance. Run planning, standups, retros, and refinement efficiently, protect maker time, drive commitments to completion, and keep tuning the process as the team grows. * Prioritization and roadmap alignment — keep engineering execution aligned with product priorities in Linear, from requirements through initiatives, projects, and shippable features (with Definition of Ready / Done discipline), and give leadership grounded feedback on what's realistically achievable. * Stakeholder alignment — work across Product, Operations/Customer Success, and Go-to-Market to surface customer and business needs into priorities, and manage timeline and trade-off expectations in the other direction. * Reporting, dependencies, and risk — keep leadership informed with clear weekly status and delivery metrics (velocity, cycle time, throughput); track cross-team and cross-repo dependencies in a living RAID-style picture, and escalate before risks become slips. * Cross-pod coordination and onboarding — keep our engineering pods aligned, unblocked, and shipping, run new-customer rollouts as projects across data integrations, backend, and frontend, and work hands-on with our AI agents — where your crisp write-ups and acceptance criteria become engineering throughput directly. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * 3+ years in technical program, delivery, or project management for software teams. * Technical enough to read code, follow architecture discussions, and debug process problems at the root. * Hands-on with both Scrum and Kanban (hybrid ideal) * Fluent in an issue tracker like Linear or Jira * Strong written communication — we're async-first, and writing is how work gets specified and reported. * You use AI daily to write, analyze, and accelerate your work. NICE TO HAVE * Scrum Master certification (or equivalent experience) strongly desired — evidence of having led Agile teams with a deep command of the process, not just having been part of one. * Startup ambiguity tolerance * Customer-facing comfort * Workforce management / scheduling / HR-tech domain experience * Experience coordinating AI-assisted or agent-driven development CULTURE AT ANDO Ando is a high-trust, high-care organization built on ownership, respect, and thoughtful collaboration. We value diverse perspectives, clear communication, and personal accountability. We move fast through alignment rather than force, operate comfortably in ambiguity, and build with empathy for the enterprises and workers our systems serve. These values are core to how we work.
