  • Experience managing senior/principal engineers, ideally across multiple functional areas.
  • Strong technical background in cloud-native distributed systems, platform engineering, or AI/ML infrastructure.
  • Proven track record of scaling SaaS platforms and leading teams responsible for mission-critical backend systems.
  • Experience working closely with cross-functional teams such as Product, Infrastructure, AI/ML, and Security.
  • Deep understanding of reliability, operational excellence, and cost optimization in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and executive stakeholder management skills.
  • Passion for developing people and building strong, healthy engineering teams.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in developer platforms or internal tooling teams.
  • Experience in high-scale SaaS environments with large enterprise customer bases.

Why Highspot

  • A fast-growing SaaS company with market leadership and world-class customers.
  • An opportunity to shape the core technology foundation for Highspot's next stage of growth.
  • A highly collaborative and supportive leadership team that values technical excellence and strong management.
