• Work closely with product and business leadership to ensure technical solutions meet current and future business needs.

Mentorship & Growth

• Mentor engineers and technical leads, fostering professional growth and developing the next generation of technical leaders.
• Promote best practices in design, coding, testing, and operations across multiple teams.
• Serve as a role model for technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Execution & Delivery

• Lead the design and implementation of complex, business‑unit‑wide initiatives, often requiring integration across multiple systems or domains.
• Contribute code directly to projects while working alongside Lead Engineers, ensuring hands‑on involvement in delivery and setting a high standard of technical excellence.
• Anticipate long‑term technical risks, manage technical debt, and proactively propose improvements.
• Support incident response, helping teams identify root causes and implement systemic fixes that benefit the business unit as a whole.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a minimum of 4+ years in a technical leadership role.
• Significant experience architecting, building, and scaling software systems in complex environments.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical efforts across multiple teams or products.
• Strong ability to evaluate trade‑offs and guide teams toward solutions that balance business needs with technical integrity.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence across organizational boundaries.
