• Foster a culture of technical excellence, reliability, and continuous improvement in critical revenue systems.
• Participate in incident command rotations and guide the team’s response to high‑impact production events.

Who We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams building production systems.
• Experience leading or partnering across both frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (Java, PostgreSQL, distributed systems) domains.
• Familiarity with e‑commerce cart/checkout experiences, subscription management, or SaaS billing UX.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with a focus on cross‑team alignment and delivery.
• Passion for mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of growth, inclusion, and accountability.
