  • Drive alignment across squads and cross-functional partners to deliver key initiatives while managing competing priorities and trade-offs between speed, technical debt, and innovation.
  • Partner with data and analytics teams to make commerce smarter — improving pricing, promotion, and checkout experiences that increase conversion and retention.
  • Mentor and develop engineering leaders, with a focus on succession planning, leadership growth, and building a strong technical bench.
  • Own staffing and organizational strategy — hiring, headcount planning, and structuring teams to match the evolving needs of the Commerce domain.
  • Represent engineering in cross-functional and executive-level forums, translating strategy, status, and trade-offs for senior stakeholders and influencing key business decisions.

Qualifications
