Collaborate cross-functionally with product management, UX, and other engineering squads to align on growth strategies and technical best practices.

What you need to be successful

Proven experience leading engineers and projects as a Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or in a similar role.
Strong end-user focus with a clear bias toward experimentation, measurement, and iterative development.
