Track record of leading or mentoring engineering teams of 3+.

Experience collaborating across geographies (US/UK time zones).

Deep system design and architectural judgment. Hands-on proficiency in Python and/or C# preferred, with the ability to evaluate the right tool for the job across other modern stacks.
