2+ years of experience leading, growing, and inspiring engineering teams
Experience building or significantly contributing to a design system or shared component library used across multiple product teams
A history of building polished, well-tested, accessible consumer products on web and mobile
The ability to integrate generative AI tools into daily workflows to automate tasks, foster innovation, and maximize productivity
Superb communication skills — you keep stakeholders aligned, manage competing priorities transparently, and build consensus with engineers at all levels
The mentality of an entrepreneur/owner and a strong bias to action
