• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Product, UX, and Data teams to define and execute roadmap initiatives and align business and tech priorities.
• Optimize Engineering Operations: Monitor key performance indicators, manage incidents, and lead root cause analysis to continuously improve team efficiency and product quality.
• Promote QA & Continuous Improvement: Drive a shift-left testing mindset, encourage team-wide QA ownership, and embed continuous improvement in workflows.

What you'll bring:

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering with at least 3 years in a management role.
• Strong leadership and communication skills.
• Hands-on technical experience and ability to guide engineers in architecture and implementation.
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality SaaS products in an agile environment.
