• 5+ years of professional experience in the software development industry
• 3+ years of experience managing engineers in agile environments
• Experience leading a shared platform or infrastructure‑adjacent team

supporting multiple products or consumers * Strong people‑management skills, including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and career development * Experience partnering closely with Architecture and Security teams to deliver services that meet enterprise‑level standards * Ability to manage a broad technical scope within a single team while maintaining clarity of priorities and execution * Strong communication, planning, and cross‑functional collaboration skills Here’s what will give you an edge… * Experience leading shared platform or infrastructure services consumed by multiple products or teams * Experience working with microservices‑based architectures, including designing, operating, and evolving distributed services * Experience building and operating cloud‑based applications, preferably on Microsoft Azure, at enterprise scale * Experience leading teams using agile development practices, balancing iteration speed with platform stability * Experience working closely with customers or customer‑facing teams, ensuring platform capabilities meet high standards of reliability, performance, and usability * A demonstrated track record of making sound technical and delivery decisions in complex environments with competing priorities * Experience operating in ambiguous or evolving platform spaces, adapting plans as technology, scale, or business needs change * Proven ability to partner effectively across Product, Architecture, Security, and Engineering, balancing advocacy with pragmatism * Experience leading engineering teams with clear ownership, accountability, and delivery focus * A results‑oriented mindset, with experience driving measurable outcomes rather than activity alone
