We’re looking for a strong technical leader who fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment, mentoring a diverse team of engineers.

  • Drive architecture, design, and execution of high-performance product infrastructure.
  • Develop a strategic roadmap that balances incremental delivery with high business impact.
  • Define success metrics, align migration goals, and drive platform adoption.
  • Effectively communicate progress to stakeholders, customers, and senior leadership.
  • Balance platform evolution, maintaining existing systems while prioritizing next-generation development.
  • Hire, mentor, and grow a diverse, high-performing team, fostering an inclusive team culture.
     

What we are looking for in you:

  • An engineering leader with 3 - 5 years of experience leading backend distributed systems teams.
  • Strong technical acumen and ability to act as a technical advisor to the team.
  • Experience leading teams responsible for building high-traffic distributed systems.
  • Experience building product platforms with a direct impact on the customer experience.
  • SRE experience is a plus, particularly in ensuring reliability, scalability, and operational excellence in distributed systems.
  • A track record of hiring diverse, highly talented engineers and growing successful, highly impactful teams.
  • Excellence in communicating context with the team, stakeholders, partners, and leadership. Ability to drive the team’s roadmap by connecting the dots between your team’s work and business needs, managing expectations, and navigating competing priorities.
  • A leadership style that prioritizes giving and receiving feedback, fostering new ideas, and empowering others without micromanagement.
  • A BS in Computer Science/Engineering or a related discipline.
