Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts for non-engineering audiences
Proven ability to recruit, lead, and grow high-performing engineering teams
Detail-oriented leadership with the ability to act as both product owner and technical program manager
Responsibilities:Build and lead an engineering team that scales to 12–30 people over the next 18–24 months, including multiple technical leads.
Drive delivery of technical innovations and ensure product excellence
Communicate roadmap, schedules, and strategic direction across teams and with customers
