  • Lead the design and delivery of a major new product feature overseeing architecture, implementation, and rollout.
  • Establish engineering best practices around code quality, testing, and deployment automation.
  • Develop internal tooling and automation to streamline developer onboarding and reduce repetitive manual processes.
  • Partner with leadership to define engineering priorities, hiring plans, and process improvements.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6–10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2–4 years in a technical leadership or management role.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (Master’s preferred).
  • Experience leading cross-functional development efforts, from concept to production.
  • Certifications in cloud or DevOps technologies (AWS, GCP, Azure) are a plus.

This is a high-impact leadership role where you’ll balance hands-on engineering with strategic technical direction. If you’re passionate about building products, empowering teams, and creating scalable systems that move the business forward — we’d love to talk.
