You will manage engineers across multiple teams and global locations, obsess over quality and customers, and oversee global deployments.

• Passionate about creating positive and engaging, high-trust employee environments, where you care about your people.
• Experience in building and managing diverse, high-performing, geographically-distributed engineering teams with sensitivity to different cultures.
• A proven track record of shipping complex, large-scale products on time and within budget.
• Deep understanding of software architectures and patterns.
• Proven track record of defining and executing an AI-first engineering strategy, moving beyond experimentation to deploy scalable, production-grade intelligent systems. 
• Familiarity with agile methodologies and modern software development practices.
• Strong understanding of security and compliance standards in the technology industry. Oversee the implementation and management of security compliance programs, ensuring all cloud and on-premise solutions adhere to relevant regulations (GDPR, SOC2, ISO 27001, etc.).
