Full Job Description
What this role tends to look like:
  • Setting technical direction across a domain or set of teams, not just a single codebase
  • Diving into the hardest, most ambiguous problems and driving them to a clean solution
  • Raising the bar on engineering practices - architecture, code quality, testing, operational rigor
  • Mentoring senior engineers and helping them grow into the next stage of their careers
  • Partnering closely with product and engineering leadership to shape roadmaps and technical strategy
  • Writing code when it matters, and knowing when not to

What we look for:
  • A track record of technical leadership at scale, ideally with Staff/Principal-level experience (or Senior engineers clearly operating at that level)
  • Strong systems thinking - you can zoom out to architecture and zoom into a gnarly bug with equal ease
  • Excellent communication; you can influence without relying on authority
  • A bias toward pragmatic solutions over perfect ones
  • Genuine curiosity and a track record of continuous learning
