  • Collaborate with the team to design solutions that support existing revenue lines at scale and enable rapid growth of new products.
  • Use your technical and domain expertise to ensure your team delivers extraordinary results at the high technical level we set.
  • Make sound, first-principle decisions around resourcing with clear rationale to partners and team members.
  • Work with other Engineering leaders to continuously improve the Engineering organization and uphold our workplace philosophy.
