- Champion and elevate strong engineering practices around code quality, system resilience, testing, and iterative delivery across the broader engineering organization.
- Coach, mentor, and sponsor senior engineers, technical leads, and potentially other engineering managers, actively supporting their career growth and ensuring a healthy, inclusive team culture.
- Collaborate strategically with principal engineers, data teams, and platform architecture groups to align on system interfaces, resolve organizational dependencies, and achieve shared business goals.
- Drive hiring, headcount planning, and onboarding strategies as the AI engineering organization scales.
We Are Looking for People Who:
- Have at least 8+ years of hands-on software development experience.
- Have at least 5+ years of experience managing, scaling, and leading software engineering teams.

- Experience leading teams that integrate complex AI or ML-powered capabilities into production systems.
- Demonstrated expertise in building alignment and operating seamlessly at the intersection of product, platform, and data science teams.
- Exceptional technical judgment across system design, APIs, distributed systems, and developer workflows, with the ability to guide teams through complex technical decisions.
- Experience overseeing engineering work across modern backend and frontend stacks.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguity, define strategic direction, make pragmatic trade-offs, and drive execution across multiple concurrent initiatives.
- Excellent executive communication skills and the ability to articulate how technical work maps to overarching business and product goals.
Bonus Points:
- Experience managing engineering managers or leading multiple autonomous squads.
- Experience leading teams building agentic, LLM-powered, or generative AI product experiences.
- Familiarity with agent frameworks such as Mastra, LangChain, or similar orchestration tools.
- Prior leadership work on decisioning engines, rules engines, or real-time personalization systems at scale.
- Experience collaborating closely with Data Science and ML teams on complex production integrations and model deployment pipelines.
