Hire and grow a high-performing engineering team.

Actively monitor engineering processes to identify and resolve bottlenecks.

Qualifications

7+ years of software engineering, including 2+ years in technical leadership roles.

Proven leadership skills with hands-on experience in:

Be empathetic and supportive of engineers and stakeholders.

Perform well under pressure and manage time-sensitive incidents effectively.
