  • Own the technical execution and delivery plan across a core strategic project, collaborating with TPM and Product peers.
  • Drive operational excellence, including testing strategies, SLAs, observability, and production readiness.
  • Influence architecture and system design decisions, advocating for clean code, reusability, and long-term maintainability.
  • Build strong partnerships across engineering, finance, and product teams to align technical investments with business outcomes.
  • Ensure cross-team collaboration and unblock dependencies in a multi-team, multi-domain environment.
  • Provide regular coaching, mentoring, and career development for engineers and managers.
  • Grow and scale your team with a focus on diversity, autonomy, and long-term success.
  • Champion change and continuous improvement in system design and retrospectives.
  • Bring empathy, clarity, and context to both technical and non-technical conversations.

Experience and Qualifications

To thrive in this role, you should have:

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including 2+ years in a leadership role.
  • A proven track record of building and leading high-performing, distributed teams across multiple technologies or domains.
  • Deep experience in backend or full-stack development, with a solid grasp of service-oriented and event-driven architecture.
  • The ability to coach engineers through system design and performance trade-offs.
  • Experience collaborating with TPMs and product managers on roadmap planning and prioritization.
  • A strong grasp of cloud-native practices and modern development tools (we use AWS, Kotlin, Kafka, Terraform, etc.).
  • Experience in hiring, developing, and retaining talent in a fast-paced environment.
  • An inclusive leadership style that fosters trust, ownership, and team health.
