- Technical fluency across the full stack, with enough depth in backend systems, shared data models, and API design to engage substantively with your team's technical decisions
- Strong cross-functional collaborator: able to partner with product, design, and engineering leaders to define clear ownership boundaries and drive alignment across teams
- Track record of hiring senior engineers in a competitive market and building a team culture people want to be part of
- Experience managing multi-team dependencies and delivering across concurrent workstreams with limited oversight
