About you

• 10+ years in software engineering with progressive leadership experience, including managing managers/Directors at scale.

• Proven track record of AI-augmented engineering: hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and agentic tools in a production setting, and the judgment to set governance, quality bars and guardrails for their use — not just individual usage.

• Genuine appetite for AI as a lever for engineering productivity and delivery quality; expected to actively shape how the Tribe adopts AI, not merely permit it.

• Experience in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment (banking, ERP, fintech) is a strong plus.

• Comfortable operating at both strategic and technical-literacy level: able to challenge a Principal Engineer's reasoning without doing their job.
