  • People & Culture Development

    • Attract, mentor, and retain top engineering talent while fostering a strong, inclusive, and high-performing culture.

    • Champion career development through coaching, feedback, and a commitment to continuous learning.

  • Operational Excellence

    • Implement and refine Agile and DevSecOps practices that drive efficient and reliable software delivery.

    • Establish metrics to measure engineering effectiveness and drive accountability across teams.

  • Technical Oversight

    • Guide architectural decisions to ensure scalability, security, performance, and maintainability.

  • Strong background in modern software development practices, cloud infrastructure, Salesforce, and agile delivery.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in a cross-functional, collaborative environment.

  • Deep belief in the power of learning organizations, with a track record of growing both people and process maturity.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical vision into business impact.

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred Experience
