  • Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You make the intricate understandable, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record of engineering leadership is also valued.
  • Certifications in Agile, DevOps, or cloud architecture are a plus. If you’ve ever contributed to open-source projects or published technical papers, we’d love to hear about it.

Experience Requirements:

  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering or related fields, with at least 5 years in a leadership role such as Director of Engineering, VP of Engineering, or CTO. You’ve led teams that have delivered successful, scalable products.
  • Proven experience in scaling engineering teams and processes in high-growth environments, particularly in industries such as SaaS, fintech, or healthtech.
  • Experience with cloud computing, microservices architecture, and modern development frameworks. You’re comfortable navigating complex technical challenges and leading teams to overcome them.
