Responsibilities
- Own the multi-year technical strategy for the Core Transfer Experience domain, ensuring the architectures of core, conversational/agentic, and regional teams stay in sync and compound rather than diverge.
- Partner with the GM, engineering managers, product, and design leadership to connect technical strategy to business outcomes - conversion, retention, cost, and speed of iteration.
- Lead domain-level design reviews and author the RFCs and architectural decision records that set the standard for the org.
- Drive the re-architecture of the systems behind the send flow - untangling legacy coupling, redefining service and experience-layer boundaries, and paying down the architectural debt that limits scale and innovation.
- Design migration paths that ship incrementally and safely on a surface that can never go down.
- Create the architectural foundations for new capabilities on the core flow - including conversational and agentic experiences - so teams can build 0-to-1 on top of a platform rather than around it.
- Drive a culture of operational excellence across the org's teams: proactive capacity planning, on-call hygiene, and blameless post-mortems.
