- Partner closely with Product, GTM, and executive leadership to translate business priorities into clear technical execution plans.
- Drive architectural decisions, technical standards, and long-term platform scalability.
- Implement operational rigor around planning, sprint execution, incident management, and postmortems.
- Improve development velocity while maintaining system stability and performance.
- Recruit top-tier engineering talent suited for a high-performance, high-accountability culture.
- Establish clear metrics (delivery, reliability, quality, cost efficiency) and manage teams against them.
- Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and continuous improvement.
- Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.
What you'll need for success:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3–5+ years managing multiple teams or managing managers.

- Experience leading teams in rapid growth or hyper-growth environments.
- Proven ability to scale engineering organizations while maintaining quality and delivery discipline.
- Performance-driven mindset with experience holding teams accountable to measurable business outcomes.
- Strong understanding of modern software architecture, APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native environments.
- Experience driving operational excellence (SLAs, incident response, deployment pipelines, observability).
- Excellent cross-functional communication skills with the ability to influence at the executive level.
- Track record of hiring, mentoring, and retaining high-performing engineering talent.
