• Remove blockers, improve velocity, and create operational clarity across teams
• Stay connected to the technical side of development with a willingness to be hands‑on when needed
• Mentor engineering leaders and help build a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate on the company’s growing AI strategy, including AI‑powered product features, automation initiatives, and developer productivity enhancements
• Ensure teams are delivering scalable, high‑quality software that aligns with business goals and customer needs

What We’re Looking For:

• 7–10+ years of experience in software development, including leadership experience within SaaS environments
• Proven success partnering closely with Product organizations to deliver customer‑facing software at scale
• Strong understanding of Agile development principles and experience leading iterative software delivery
• Experience managing multiple engineering workstreams in fast‑paced environments
• Ability to balance strategic leadership with tactical execution and hands‑on problem solving
• Excellent communication, organizational, and cross‑functional leadership skills
• Passion for modern software development practices, emerging technologies, and AI‑driven innovation
• Experience with AI/ML initiatives, automation tooling, or AI‑enabled product development is a strong plus
• Startup or high‑growth SaaS experience strongly preferred

Why This Role Is Impactful

• You’ll help shape the future of a growing SaaS platform with real product‑market fit and momentum
• You’ll lead highly visible initiatives that directly impact product velocity and customer experience
