Cross-functional delivery for Product, Data & Systems, and Operations teams
Hands-on contribution to architecture, complex problem solving, and key builds
Mentorship and growth of engineers, including recruiting future hires
What You Bring:
8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in technical leadership
Strong technical depth in modern stacks (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, cloud-native)
Experience with integration patterns (APIs, event-driven architecture, ETL/ELT)
Hands-on cloud experience (Azure preferred given M365 alignment; AWS or GCP also welcome)
