Key Responsibilities
- Define and implement a multi-year technology roadmap, translating product vision into scalable, compliant, and secure engineering delivery.
- Architect and evolve a multi-tenant, high‑concurrency AI platform with strong governance, observability, and cost-efficiency.
- Establish engineering best practices, including release engineering, observability, error budgeting, and compliance telemetry.
- Manage, mentor, and scale a global engineering organization, enabling high performance, accountability, and innovation.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Customer Success, Security, and Compliance teams to align technical execution with business goals.
- Ensure infrastructure supports enterprise‑grade security, data governance, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness.
Qualifications & Experience
- Extensive experience (12+ years) in technical leadership roles, including several years in senior or executive-level positions leading platform or infrastructure engineering.
- Proven leadership in scaling high-performing teams within startup environments, ideally from Series B through Series D, or during revenue growth phases from $10M to $100M+ ARR.
- Strong background in AI/ML systems, distributed architectures, cloud-native platforms, or large-scale SaaS/enterprise infrastructure.
- Demonstrated success building and leading high-performing engineering teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Deep understanding of software delivery, observability, CI/CD, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization.
- Prior experience working with regulated industries or within highly secure, compliance-heavy environments is a strong plus.
- Excellent strategic thinking, communication, and collaboration skills to work cross-functionally across business, product, and engineering.
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical discipline; advanced degrees or equivalent experience welcomed.
