- Establishing clear operating mechanisms: quarterly planning, technical review, dependency management, staffing plans, and engineering metrics
- Shaping company-wide engineering standards in platform quality, release management, data-driven decision-making, and AI-enabled productivity
You bring 10+ years of software engineering experience with substantial background leading engineering leaders and cross-functional, product-facing organizations. You have proven experience leading multiple teams through managers, ideally in marketplace, checkout, discovery, growth, or funnel-heavy domains.

You've owned or partnered deeply on search/recommendations, checkout/payments, risk/fraud/trust, retention/lifecycle, internationalization, or high-traffic consumer platforms. You excel at translating commercial goals into engineering priorities using metrics and experimentation, and have a track record of improving engineering maturity through planning discipline, staffing models, quality systems, and leadership development.
