What We’re Looking For:
- 10+ years of experience in backend or systems software development.
- 2+ years in a formal or informal Engineering Manager, Sr. Engineering Manager, or Tech Lead role in a fast-paced engineering environment.
- Progression through senior IC roles like Tech Lead, Staff, or Principal Engineer.
- Strong experience with distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and multi-tenant platforms.
- Proven ability to drive cross-team collaboration with product, support, business, and program teams.
- Demonstrated ability to drive accountability, set clear goals, and raise the performance bar for the team.
- Expertise in system design, scalability, performance optimization, and cost control.
- Proven track record of mentoring engineers, guiding architecture, and leading impactful initiatives.
- Clear communicator, adept at both strategy and execution.
Bonus Points:
- Experience with data engineering platforms, ETL systems, or database internals.
- Exposure to product-driven companies, especially in infrastructure, SaaS, or backup/data systems.
