- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with product and business teams to translate requirements into effective technical solutions. Communicate trade-offs and be the bridge between engineering and other stakeholders.
- Startup Hustle: Adapt and wear multiple hats as needed in a fast-paced startup setting. Whether it’s debugging a Kubernetes deployment, refining a UI workflow, or jumping on an urgent issue, you do what it takes to push the product and team forward.
Qualifications
- Proven Technical Leader: 7+ years in software engineering, including 2+ years in a leadership role (tech lead/engineering manager) in a fast-paced environment.
