Must have
- 7–10 years of overall software engineering experience with 3–5+ years of experience managing engineering teams.
- Strong technical background with hands-on understanding of backend/platform fundamentals
- Ability to operate at code-level depth when needed (design reviews, debugging, guiding engineers)
- Proven experience designing and delivering complex, distributed systems
- Track record of building and scaling high-performing engineering teams
- Experience working on developer tools, internal platforms, or productivity systems
- Strong ability to influence and align stakeholders across teams
- Excellent communication skills across both technical and non-technical audiences
