Implement operational rigor around planning, sprint execution, incident management, and postmortems.
Improve development velocity while maintaining system stability and performance.
Recruit top-tier engineering talent suited for a high-performance, high-accountability culture.
Establish clear metrics (delivery, reliability, quality, cost efficiency) and manage teams against them.
Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, and continuous improvement.
Takes on additional responsibilities and projects as needed to support the success of the team and organization.

What you'll need for success:

8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3–5+ years managing multiple teams or managing managers.
Strong technical background in PHP and Python ecosystems with the ability to contribute to architectural discussions and technical direction.
Experience leading teams in rapid growth or hyper-growth environments.
Proven ability to scale engineering organizations while maintaining quality and delivery discipline.
Performance-driven mindset with experience holding teams accountable to measurable business outcomes.
Strong understanding of modern software architecture, APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native environments.

Excellent cross-functional communication skills with the ability to influence at the executive level.
Track record of hiring, mentoring, and retaining high-performing engineering talent.
