  • Mentor engineers on triage, debugging practices, and qualification methodology.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of relevant industry experience in software integration, development, or quality engineering, including prior release qualification experience.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives spanning multiple orgs, product development, product management, and field teams.

  • Strong organizational skills, ownership mindset, and ability to drive projects to completion.
  • Experience leading and mentoring engineers across geographically dispersed teams and time zones.
