Requirements

Must:
We are looking for candidates with a strong background in JavaScript frameworks, microservices, and API development. You should have experience in building modern applications using cloud-native architectures. Proven leadership experience in large technical teams is essential, along with an Agile and product-focused mindset. You should have expertise in engineering culture, DevSecOps, and automation, as well as experience with public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. We value strategic thinking, innovation, and thought leadership in a technical context, and you should possess the ability to measure, mentor, and uplift engineering maturity across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will lead engineering strategy and delivery across feature teams, fostering a strong culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. You will evangelize emerging technologies and modern engineering practices while mentoring and guiding large technical teams to promote high standards in code quality, DevSecOps, and automation. Additionally, you will drive the development of cloud-native applications with a particular focus on modern JavaScript frameworks and API/microservices architecture. Monitoring and improving engineering maturity across teams, you will collaborate closely with stakeholders, manage technical dependencies, and communicate effectively through strong storytelling and influence.

Description

You will oversee governance and delivery that aligns with Agile events and enterprise planning, including QBRs and Big Room Planning.
