About you
You are an experienced engineering leader with a strong software engineering background and a track record of leading teams responsible for business-critical products and platforms.
You combine strong people leadership with credible technical judgement. You are comfortable setting direction, helping teams make complex engineering decisions and remaining close enough to the technology to understand the health, risks and opportunities within the platforms you own.
You understand that engineering leadership is about more than delivery. You think about the long-term health of technology: architecture, reliability, security, scalability, developer experience, operational performance and the ability of teams to evolve their systems sustainably.
You are comfortable working closely with Product and business stakeholders, translating priorities into engineering plans and making thoughtful trade-offs between new capabilities, technical investment and operational needs.
You are also motivated by developing people and teams. You create clear ownership, coach engineers, build capability and create an environment where people can challenge, learn and take increasing responsibility.
