Proven success scaling engineering organizations in high-growth environments while maintaining strong execution and culture. Strong architectural and systems thinking, with the ability to guide technical strategy and trade-offs for a large product surface area. Track record of cross-functional collaboration, especially with Product, Design, and Ops teams, to build and ship products that solve real-world problems.
