Responsibilities

• Lead an engineering team that values technical quality, strong ownership and fast execution. Raise the bar for talent, and help builders solve hard marketplace problems while keeping people accountable and growing.
• Own the full development lifecycle of engineering projects, and bring in AI-driven practices that improve quality and delivery. Use current approaches so that speed to market comes from the team's velocity, while every initiative meets the standards for security, scalability and excellence.
• Improve efficiency through agile methods and sound engineering practice, using automation and advanced workflows to raise team velocity. Keep refining processes and tooling to boost productivity, so fast delivery and high-quality output are the norm on every project.
• Connect engineering with other teams and keep priorities aligned through clear communication. Turn complex technical topics into practical insights for business stakeholders and leadership.

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. A master's is preferred. Equivalent professional experience can be accepted instead.
