Delivery & Execution:

  • Own end-to-end delivery of software initiatives—ensuring predictability, quality, and speed to market.
  • Partner with Product to translate customer and business needs into executable engineering plans.
  • Leverage AI to accelerate product development and embed AI capabilities into customer-facing solutions.
  • Establish and track KPIs for delivery, quality, reliability, and team health.
  • Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory standards.

People & Organizational Leadership:

  • Build, lead, and develop high-performing engineering managers and teams.
  • Set clear accountabilities, performance goals, and growth paths.
  • Foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive workforce planning, succession, and capability development for future needs.

Cross-Functional Partnership:

  • Collaborate with Product, Architecture, Security, Data, Operations, and business leaders to align priorities.
  • Communicate complex technical topics clearly to executive and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Represent Software Engineering in strategic planning, investment decisions, and governance forums.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Extensive software engineering experience with multiple years in senior leadership roles.
  • Proven success leading large-scale software SaaS products.
