Collaborate with product, finance, and engineering leadership to define and execute a quarterly roadmap, breaking complex infrastructure projects into iterative, shippable milestones
Partner with the talent organization to recruit exceptional engineers and own engineering quality processes including SLA accountability, incident response, and on-call practices

Required skills and experience:

7+ years in software engineering with at least 2 years of engineering management experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing engineers
Proven track record delivering and operating distributed systems at scale in production, with hands-on ability to review code, lead incidents, and triage issues when needed
Demonstrated success translating ambiguous, long-horizon technical problems into concrete execution plans with measurable milestones
Experience with financial systems, event-driven architectures, or high-precision transaction processing where correctness and reliability are critical
Comfort leading teams with diverse scope (backend services, streaming pipelines, and full-stack tooling) with an appreciation for developer and operator UX
Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
