- Mentor senior engineers and build a culture of technical excellence
- Improve platform reliability, incident management and operational performance

- Influence senior product, technology and business stakeholders
We’re looking for someone with:
- Principal, Staff or Lead-level engineering experience
- Strong software design and architecture capability
- Experience building and operating complex, high-performance systems at scale
- Deep knowledge of reliability engineering and modern software development
- The ability to translate business requirements into practical, extensible solutions
- A track record of influencing and inspiring high-performing engineering teams
