Strong background as a production software engineer, with experience leading technical work from discovery through delivery.

Ability to reason across application architecture, integrations, data systems, and user experience, particularly in public-facing environments.

Demonstrated experience managing and developing engineers while remaining actively involved in hands-on software development.

Experience leading a small, focused engineering team and providing clear direction, coaching, feedback, and support.

Strong product judgment and the ability to translate commercial or operational goals into practical technical plans with measurable outcomes.

Experience building or improving systems involving customer data, CRM platforms, sales or acquisition workflows, public websites, content management systems, or similarly interconnected operations.

Practical experience using AI extensively in engineering work, including coding, debugging, testing, investigation, data analysis, or prototyping.

Experience building or integrating AI-powered capabilities, with the ability to evaluate outputs and understand potential limitations or failure scenarios.

Strong understanding of integrations and data flows, including how information moves between APIs, analytics platforms, customer systems, and operational tools.

Ability to make sound architectural and vendor decisions while balancing delivery speed, maintainability, and engineering quality.

Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with business stakeholders and technical teams.

Comfort working through ambiguity, explaining trade-offs, and moving initiatives forward without requiring fully defined requirements.

A hands-on, accountable, and autonomous approach to engineering leadership.
