• Serve as the primary operational link between the US engineering team and the leadership organization in Germany.
• Partner closely with California branch management on HR, operational processes, and organizational alignment.
• Participate credibly in architectural discussions across AI/ML pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and core software systems.
• Identify delivery bottlenecks and implement lightweight processes that scale across international time zones.

What you bring

• 7+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years managing cross-disciplinary technical teams (software, AI/ML, and DevOps).
• Strong technical background in at least one core area (AI/ML systems, cloud backend, or DevOps) with working fluency across the others.
• Proven track record of hiring, coaching, performance management, and building psychological safety in remote or distributed environments.
• Excellent cross-cultural communication and stakeholder management skills across executive levels, time zones, and global sites.

• Production experience with AI/ML systems or high-reliability cloud and edge architectures (preferred).
• Experience in regulated or safety-critical industrial sectors, or familiarity with AI governance frameworks like the EU AI Act (preferred).
