One tactic that worked really well while I was a coding engineering manager is to have engineers in opposite timezones that don't mind sharing git branches.
We have a small team of 4 engineers (1 in Seoul, 1 in NYC, 2 in Brazil) + myself (CA) and we shipped a brand new product line with paying customers for our startup in a few weeks (subsequently added more features). I correlate that strongly to us having a 24hr engineering cycle and us being willing to pick up where others left off.
The small team acting as a startup really resonates with my experiences.
Reminds me of the Carmageddon[1] post-mortem where they noted that having management in London and all developers in Sydney was perfect as everyone was at work at the same time...

We're currently looking for a senior data engineer to help architect and build process around our data pipelines. We have the fundamentals setup (event schemas, Big Query warehouse, etc), but we're hitting the scale where we each team at Monograph needs more data to help them make informed decisions. You will come in and own data with the budget to hire full-time folks and consultants to help build out our data team.

We do 4-day (32 hour) work weeks at Monograph, and we've been doing it for 3 years now. I believe we're one of the only companies in SV that are advocates for working less, but more productively. We only have one engineering/product meeting each week and then everything else is heads down work (or one-on-one pairing).
We have a small team of 4 engineers (1 in Seoul, 1 in NYC, 2 in Brazil) + myself (CA) and we shipped a brand new product line with paying customers for our startup in a few weeks (subsequently added more features).
