You'll also own recruitment, hiring, and retention of top engineering talent to build a diverse, high-performing team. The role requires proven ability to lead and mentor engineers, manage technical projects from planning to execution with strong Agile and CI/CD knowledge, and excellent communication skills for cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
