Skills & Qualifications: Engineering Leadership: 8+ years of software development experience with 4+ years leading multiple engineering teams or managing managers. Technical Scale: Deep experience architecting and maintaining high-availability, distributed systems and cloud-based services (We’re on GCP - but AWS/Azure experience fine). Operational Maturity: Proven expertise in modern SDLC practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and agile development. Talent & Network: A strong track record of recruiting & retaining senior talent. Data & Complexity: Comfort managing complex data workflows and modernizing legacy codebases without interrupting service. Communication: The ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business strategy for non-technical stakeholders.
