• 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.
