- Manage engineering budgets, headcount planning, and vendor relationships
- Establish and track engineering KPIs to measure velocity, quality, and system reliability
- Lead hiring, performance management, and career development for engineering managers and staff
- Evaluate and evolve the technology stack to support long-term scalability
- Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
- Represent engineering in executive and board-level discussions
Requirements
- 8plus years of software engineering experience with 4plus years in engineering leadership
- Proven track record building and scaling engineering teams in a high-growth environment
- Strong technical background in modern software architecture and cloud infrastructure
- Experience managing managers and developing engineering leaders
- Solid understanding of agile development practices and delivery processes
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
- Experience partnering closely with product and design leadership
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Demonstrated ability to balance technical debt with feature delivery under real business constraints
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k plan with company match
- Generous paid time off and company holidays
- Hybrid work schedule with flexibility for remote days
- Stock options or equity participation
- Professional development and conference budget
- Parental leave program
- Wellness and mental health resources
- Company-sponsored team events and offsites
- Modern equipment and home office stipend
