In this role you’ll be collaborating closely with your product, design and data partners.

• Make sound first-principle decisions around resourcing, and making the rationale clear to partners and team members
• Partner with your org leader on strategic planning and to improve the Engineering organization and uphold our workplace philosophy
• Helping drive product decisions with our goals in mind and holding a high bar for the quality of our features
• Use your technical expertise to move fast, make tradeoffs, and ensure your team delivers with high quality

• You have a product sense and take pride in understanding your customers
• You have worked in a product team with clear metrics goals
• You are very goal oriented and always strive to win
• You are motivated to help your team members succeed and have experience growing engineers
• You are excited to get hands-on – we’re looking for someone to manage primarily but our leaders should feel very comfortable jumping into code to understand our product better, brainstorming technical solutions, and making changes directly.
