Responsibilities:

Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineering managers, each accountable for a discipline-based engineering community. Own their performance, growth, and effectiveness as people leaders.
Provide substantive technical guidance to your managers and their teams on software design and architecture, code quality practices, testing strategy, and review discipline. Stay close enough to the work to add real value in a design or code review.
Set the standard for AI-assisted engineering. Evaluate and roll out AI development tooling, define practices for its effective and responsible use, and coach your managers on where it accelerates delivery and where human judgment and review remain essential.
Own and drive key initiatives across the engineering department, working alongside your director peers on engineering standards, delivery practices, tooling, onboarding, and reduction of technical debt.
Partner closely with product directors to staff and support cross-functional product teams, balancing engineering capacity against roadmap commitments and resolving competing priorities at the lowest possible level.
Coach the tech leads and engineers in your organization so that product teams they support consistently deliver reliable, secure, and maintainable software.
Be accountable for the long-term health of the services and codebases your organization owns, including operational readiness and support for deployed product.
Build influential working relationships across engineering, product, and the wider business. Resolve the majority of disagreements yourself, and escalate the remainder promptly with clear context.
Own technical hiring for your organization: shape roles, run interview panels, and raise the bar on selection and onboarding.

Requirements:

8+ years leading software engineering teams, including 3+ years managing managers
Experience leading an engineering organization of 20 or more people across multiple teams
Strong technical background as a practicing software engineer and working fluency across technical architectures, including frontend, data, networking, backend, etc.
