• BA/BS in a relevant technical field and 7+ years of engineering experience demonstrating strong progression and impact.
• Track record of technical leadership and mentoring in collaborative, cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts across engineering, product, and business audiences.
• Deep knowledge of software engineering best practices: coding standards, testing, code reviews, source control, and operations.
• Experience building and scaling distributed systems and high-volume transaction environments.
