• Navigate complex cross-functional situations with the ability to change perspectives and gain alignment without damaging relationships
• Actively recruit, hire, mentor, and grow engineers at all levels building a culture of ownership, curiosity, and inclusion
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, data science, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into robust engineering plans
• Champion engineering best practices including CI/CD, test automation, code review standards, and operational readiness
• Evaluate and integrate AI-powered tools and approaches to accelerate developer productivity, improve code quality, and enhance the platforms your teams deliver
• Partner with peer engineering managers and senior leadership to align technical investments, manage dependencies, and drive platform-wide consistency

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with hands-on expertise across full-stack development (frontend, backend, and data layers)
• 4+ years of engineering management experience, with demonstrated success leading and growing teams of 8 or more engineers across multiple workstreams or functional areas
• Track record of leading your team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices setting clear standards for when and how to leverage AI effectively while maintaining engineering rigor
