About the role

  • Own company-level technical integration. Lead the integration of an acquired company’s systems into Proof’s platform and operating model, including discovery, architecture, data migration, identity/SSO, API and service consolidation, coexistence and deprecation plans, and Day-1 through cutover execution.
  • Partner across functions. Work with Product, Security/Compliance, Data, Customer Success, Operations, and our M&A integration leads to plan workstreams, set milestones and success metrics, surface risks, and unblock decisions.
  • Co-own planning with the Product Manager. Shape the integration roadmap, scope, estimates, capacity planning, and release milestones together; translate customer and stakeholder input into a sequenced backlog.
  • Customer and stakeholder meetings. Meet in person with customers and with stakeholders at acquired companies to validate requirements, run pilots/UAT, and guide cutovers.
  • Lead and manage a team of roughly 4 developers. Run 1:1s, set expectations, give feedback, support growth, and handle performance conversations and hiring.
  • Establish and maintain quality expectations for integrated systems, including reliability targets/SLOs, incident response expectations, and code quality standards.
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for internal stakeholders; align milestones, communicate risks, and remove blockers.
  • Run an effective remote team. The team is remote, but you should expect to be in our Detroit location a few times per month for alignment, onboarding, and whiteboarding when needed.
