- Demonstrated ability to provide technical depth, diving deep into complex architectural problems and guiding senior engineers to sound decisions.
- A strategic thinker, comfortable setting technical vision over a 6-12 month horizon and managing a complex portfolio of projects.
- Exceptional interpersonal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners in a remote-first environment.
