Neara - Follow-up Messages

1) Recruiter Thank You (same day)

Hi [Recruiter Name],

Thanks again for the conversation today. The Lead Engineer, Engineering Productivity role sounds like a strong match for my background in building golden paths for software delivery, integrating AI tooling, and driving productivity through measurable outcomes. I am especially interested in building relationships across engineering teams and helping Neara establish a metrics-driven approach to developer effectiveness as the organisation scales.

Appreciate your time, and I am keen for next steps.

Best, Lucas

2) Hiring Manager Intro

Hi [Hiring Manager Name],

Great to connect. I am excited about the Engineering Productivity scope at Neara. In recent roles, I have built golden paths for delivery across 20+ teams, introduced AI tooling that cut developer support response time by 50%, and driven adoption through regular 1-on-1s with engineers to understand and unblock their friction points. I invest heavily in growing engineers through training, pairing, and cultural engagement alongside the technical work.

I would love to discuss where your biggest productivity bottlenecks are today and how I could contribute in the first 90 days.

Best, Lucas

3) Panel or Onsite Kickoff

Hi team,

Thanks for the opportunity to interview. I am looking forward to discussing how I approach engineering productivity: build an opinionated golden path for delivery, integrate AI tooling where it removes real friction, measure outcomes with clear metrics, and build the cross-team relationships and training culture that make adoption stick.

Happy to go deep on examples across CI/CD, AI tooling, platform modernisation, and engineer enablement.

Best, Lucas
