  • Be responsible for the growth of the teams in the USA with a strong involvement in the hiring process. You will collect the requirements from the team leads, request a budget for a new headcount, work together with our HR team, and finally be an active part in each interview.
  • Always think long term and never sacrifice a long term goal for short term success. 
  • Be responsible and accountable for the product vision and product roadmap. You will work together with the local product manager, corresponding team leads, and senior management to craft the product vision, mission, tenets, and roadmap for each team.
  • Keep an eye on industry standards and best practices. Never stop learning. Always challenge the status quo. 
  • Work together with teams in the US, India, Israel, and UK

Your qualifications:

  • Master/BA/B.Sc. in Computer Science / Engineering or equivalent professional experience
