Responsibilities

• Create the conditions for engineers to do their best work.

Drive delivery and execution

• Help build and execute a roadmap that balances customer‑facing impact, technical excellence, and long‑term platform durability.
• Guide your team through planning, execution, and delivery while holding a high bar for quality.
• Lead through ambiguity—sequencing the work, derisking it, and adjusting as we learn from real users.

Collaborate cross‑functionally

• Coordinate across multiple engineering teams contributing to a shared product vision.
• Communicate priorities, risks, and progress clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Build the partnerships that drive alignment and execution across the organization.

Provide technical leadership

• Champion modern engineering practices, including CI/CD, cloud‑native architectures, observability, automated testing, and scalable system design.
• Advocate for highly reliable, maintainable, and secure software.
• Promote best practices in usability, accessibility, and front‑end architecture as the team builds customer‑facing experiences and a design system that scales.

Shape culture and innovation

• Foster a growth mindset and a culture of continuous learning.
• Encourage experimentation, thoughtful problem‑solving, and learning from incidents.
• Cultivate transparency, ownership, and customer impact across the team.
• Support knowledge sharing and technical excellence across teams.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience shipping AI‑native product surfaces—features built around what AI makes possible, not bolted onto an existing product.
• Experience leading teams that build modern web applications, design systems, or platform‑scale SaaS products.
• Experience in legal technology, professional‑services SaaS, or other regulated enterprise software where data sensitivity matters.
• A track record of mentoring engineers and developing future technical leaders.
• Familiarity with design‑system or component‑library work as a first‑class engineering discipline.
