• Set technical direction on evolving our compute and abstractions to support a growing business.

• Collaborate closely with a broad set of stakeholders, including product engineering, other infrastructure systems, and finance. 

• Coach and nurture engineers to accelerate their growth and learning.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 10+ years of experience in software engineering, including 5+ years of experience in engineering management

• Have prior experience building out infrastructure teams at scale

• Take pride in building and operating scalable, reliable products and systems

• Care deeply about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have a track record of building inclusive teams
