• Keep observability and stability high, and make sure experiments and features meet strict quality standards as delivery speeds up.
• Work on site in the Palo Alto office Monday to Wednesday to build team cohesion and solve cross-functional problems faster.

Requirements

• 5+ years of formal engineering management experience leading a team of engineers.
• Proven full-stack experience with React, TypeScript, and AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, and RDS.
