• **Technical and People Leadership:** Lead an engineering squad promoting technical excellence, autonomy and accountability, and develop engineers through continuous feedback, mentoring and growth plans. • **Product Delivery and Impact:** Ensure consistent delivery of solutions that generate real product and business impact, balancing speed, quality, reliability and scalability. • **Software Architecture and Quality:** Actively participate in architectural decisions, define technical standards, and ensure systems are resilient, secure and easy to evolve. • **Agile Planning and Execution:** Facilitate planning, prioritization and execution of the squad's work, remove impediments and ensure alignment with Product, Design and other stakeholders. • **Engineering Excellence:** Promote best practices such as code review, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, monitoring and continuous improvement of code quality and system performance. • **Data-Driven Decision Making:** Use engineering metrics (e.g., lead time, throughput, availability, quality) to guide technical and process decisions. • **Cross-functional Collaboration:** Serve as a bridge between engineering, product and business, ensuring clear communication, strategic alignment and focus on the end customer. • **Platform Evolution:** Contribute to the evolution of architecture and platform, supporting initiatives for scale, security, performance and reliability. • **Recruiting and Team Building:** Actively participate in attracting, selecting and onboarding talent, helping to build diverse, technically strong teams aligned with the culture. • **Culture and Continuous Improvement:** Encourage a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, technical responsibility and ownership.

• Lead our platform team combining deep technical capability with strong leadership skills. • Responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, observability systems, and security foundations. • Set technical direction, mentor engineers, and remain hands-on with our cloud-native stack. • Responsible for platform-enablement initiatives to introduce better engineering practices across our teams through improved tooling, testing and deployment strategies.

• Scale the team: Lead hiring and onboarding as we grow from a small, tight-knit team to a high-performing engineering organization. • Drive execution excellence: Ensure the team delivers with high velocity, quality, and reliability—while maintaining strong cross-functional alignment. Implement and evolve processes, tools, and metrics to support scalable and repeatable delivery. • Lead and mentor: Support and grow individual contributors through coaching and feedback—helping them become the best version of themselves and ensuring alignment with what the team needs to succeed. • Own engineering culture: Champion a culture of technical excellence, autonomy, ownership, and collaboration. • Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with product, design, and business leads to define the team roadmap and business goals. • Make technical contributions: Contribute in code reviews and establish processes that keep pushing the bar on engineering excellence. While you might not code every day, you should be capable of engaging deeply on architecture, technical decisions, and trade-offs. • Ensure platform reliability: Set up guardrails, monitoring, and alerting with the team, and drive incident response to uphold operational excellence and deliver the best possible experience for our enterprise customers. • Continuously improve: Identify and address bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or misalignments—always looking for ways to raise the bar.
