Role Fit Explorer
Overview
The Problem
Recruiters and hiring managers often scan a CV for keywords, but senior engineering leadership fit is rarely that simple.
The same experience can matter differently depending on the role: AI Engineering Manager, Platform Engineering Manager, DevEx Lead, SDLC Transformation Lead, Fractional CTO, or contract engineering leader.
Static CVs make the reader do too much translation.
The Solution
The Role Fit Explorer is an interactive evidence map for this site.
It lets visitors paste a role brief, select the highest-priority needs, and inspect matching evidence from projects, career outcomes, technical experience, and leadership examples.
MVP Scope
The current version supports:
- role type selection
- priority selection
- project recommendations
- CV evidence mapping
- leadership outcome mapping
- suggested interview topics
Role types:
- Engineering Manager
- AI Engineering Manager
- Platform Engineering Manager
- DevEx Lead
- SDLC Transformation Lead
- Fractional CTO
- Contract Engineering Leader
Later Scope
A later version may support pasted job descriptions. The site would extract role priorities and map them to relevant case studies, skills, and leadership evidence.
This should be presented as an evidence browser, not as a pretend objective hiring score.
What This Proves
- Product thinking applied to the hiring workflow.
- Recruiter empathy.
- Ability to make complex experience easy to interrogate.
- Practical AI UX judgement without overclaiming.
Project Status
The interactive version is available at Role Fit Explorer. It is deliberately presented as a heuristic evidence map, not an objective hiring score or recommendation.
