- Experience in empowering and nurturing technical teams of 4-10 engineers
- Experience in managing and resolving complex product development issues
- Experience in leading large scope technical projects and driving engineering excellence
- Self-driven mindset, and the ability to work in the in-between space of leading and supporting people and driving direct, hands-on impact
- Passionate about creating memorable experiences for customers
