• Experience managing feature delivery in regulated or high‑consequence domains with compliance, security, or bank/financial‑partner review gates ( e.g., payments, identity, or health).
• Proven ability to proactively identify risks, drive decision‑making, and unblock teams.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate technical ambiguity, triage development bugs, and drive cross‑functional decision‑making under minimal supervision.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with comfort presenting to and influencing stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership.
• BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience partnering with mobile/native client engineering teams (iOS, Android, or embedded) through the full build-test-release cycle.
