- Provide technical direction for the team's control plane packet-processing systems, working with engineers and adjacent teams to ensure sound design and maintainable solutions
- Translate engineering priorities into clear plans, managing delivery, risks, and dependencies
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align on architecture, trade-offs, and system evolution
- Build a strong team environment through coaching, feedback, and structured development
What We Expect
- Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams, including ownership of team performance, delivery, and development
- Solid foundation in networking protocols and concepts, particularly TCP/IP
- Strong technical foundation through hands-on software engineering in Go or C++, or through substantial software/system architecture experience
- Clear and effective communication, with the ability to align stakeholders, guide decisions, and drive execution
Skills Required
- Experience leading engineering teams
- Solid foundation in networking protocols (e.g. TCP/IP, UDP)
- Ability to work with Golang-based systems
- Clear and effective communication skills
