• Work closely with Engineering Managers, mentor tech leads, and shape the standards of technical excellence
• Translate stakeholder expectations into strategies and contribute to high-level architecture and company decisions
• Own the technical roadmap and drive quality with every step
• Support the community by promoting a learning culture, continuous improvement, and reusability
• Ensure effective communication across different teams and the entire organization
• Collaborate with fellow Directors of Engineering to ensure synchronization throughout the company
• Act quickly and show a “can-do” attitude

We expect you to

• Have experience in building or scaling technical teams
• Know what leading a team of teams means because you’ve experienced it successfully
• Show deep understanding of software engineering, infrastructure, system design, and distributed systems
• Demonstrate how technical strategies and plans can be converted into action.
