About the role
- This is a horizontal, cross-team role, not a single-team ownership role.
- You'll also stay closely connected with our Data Platform team, so we consistently bring the right data and insight to bear across our initiatives, and you'll contribute to modernizing shared platform foundations like identity and access along the way.
- Above all, you'll be expected to surface opportunities we haven't asked for yet:
Responsibilities
- Partner directly with the head of engineering as a technical thought partner across multiple concurrent initiatives, not tied to a single team's backlog
- Provide hands-on technical guidance to engineering managers, tech leads and senior engineers across teams, especially on architecture decisions with cross-team consequences
- Lead a community of practice for senior engineers and tech leads, creating space for shared standards and technical growth outside the reporting line
- Step into critical initiatives as a hands-on contributor when the problem calls for it, from early design through to production
- Mentorship instinct: You develop the senior engineers and tech leads around you, and you're energized by growing other people's technical judgment, not just your own.
- Experience partnering closely with an engineering leader (head of engineering, director, or vice president) in an advisory, thought-partner capacity preferred
Requirements
- AI-fluent, not AI-dazzled: You have hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and can speak concretely to where they help, where they don't, and how to build a team's judgment rather than just its tool list.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience, required
- At least eight years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated impact at a staff or equivalent cross-team scope, required
- Track record of influencing technical direction and aligning multiple teams without direct management authority required
- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools in real production work, with the judgment to know where to trust them and where not to, required
- Experience mentoring senior engineers and technical leads and building shared technical standards across a group required
- Strong system design and architecture fundamentals, with comfort moving across different parts of a stack as initiatives demand required
- Bring effective AI-assisted engineering practices into the teams you work with, using AI where it genuinely speeds things up and keeping human judgment as the check
Nice to have
- Experience with identity and access platforms (such as Auth0 or Okta), survey or assessment-driven products, or large-scale platform migrations preferred
Compensation
- We also offer an estimated annual salary range of $240,000-$300,000 for this role.
