Partner closely with product and business leaders. You’ll work alongside Product Managers and stakeholders to prioritize work, remove obstacles, and ensure engineering efforts align with business priorities and customer needs.
Drive engineering excellence. You’ll establish and reinforce high standards for software quality, technical decision-making, and team performance while creating an environment where engineers are empowered to execute.
Build strong cross-functional relationships. You’ll serve as the bridge between engineering, product, and business teams, translating technical concepts into clear business language and helping stakeholders make informed decisions.

Who you are:

People-first leader. You genuinely enjoy coaching, mentoring, and developing engineers. You measure your success by the success of your team and create an environment where people can grow and thrive.
