  • Set the bar for operational excellence in engineering, supporting resilience, performance, and quality initiatives across the organization.
  • Support the growth and skills development of technical team members across the organization to create a thriving culture for both individual contributors and team success.
  • Reinforce the engineering team’s focus on scalable development, testing and deployment processes to maintain and improve product reliability, scalability and performance.
  • Bring an informed technical perspective to organizational roadmap planning and customer commitments.


The skills you’ll bring:

  • Technical Expertise: Proven track record of designing complex enterprise-class software at scale; experience with a wide variety of programming languages, environments, and platforms; experience with high scale use of large language and machine learning models.
  • Strategic Vision: Strong facility with following and synthesizing strategic trends in your industry, and dynamically setting course as required to ensure that the engineering team enables the company to respond to those trends and the resulting customer needs.
  • Collaboration: Ability to engage closely with customers and to influence cross-functional product management, support, strategy and other areas to ensure alignment on the priorities of the engineering team to promote customer success.
  • Results Oriented: Proven history of building high-scale, quality products/platforms in a fast-paced, continuous deployment environment.

What else?

  • 10+ years of leadership as an engineer at the highest levels of leadership, with ownership of core architecture of large, complex systems at scale for SaaS/Cloud-based products.
  • Track record of direct customer engagement, with ability to tailor collaboration to the appropriate level of technical depth.
  • Proven ability to drive technical collaboration across engineering leaders within and across product teams.
  • A mindset that promotes cutting-edge practices in product resiliency, delivery execution, and operational excellence.
