Requirements

What You’ll Do

Proactively unblock engineering teams, challenge flawed assumptions, and clarify ambiguity before it leads to project delays.
Partner closely with team leads to maintain high delivery velocity, stepping in when accountability or alignment drops.
Balance short-term execution priorities with a strategic lens on long-term platform scalability across diverse technology stacks.
Focus on building features that solve real customer problems, rather than just checking boxes from a product requirements document.
Occasionally review code or system architecture during critical phases or escalations, providing valuable technical guidance.
Support team growth and development by mentoring mid-level engineers, spotting skill gaps early, and identifying high-potential individual contributors.
Operate fluently with modern collaboration and engineering tools (e.g., Google Docs, Notion, GitHub, Teams, YouTrack, Jira, ChatGPT), and advocate for better tooling when necessary.
Collaborate with product, UX, and QA teams to align on expectations and preemptively catch miscommunications or mismatches.

What You Must Bring

8+ years of engineering experience, including 2–3 years in a senior leadership or director-level position.
Proven track record of delivering high-impact projects within B2B SaaS or product-driven startup environments.
Strong technical fluency across cloud-first architectures (AWS), API design, and visual web applications.
Minimum 3 years of hands-on AWS experience with services like EC2, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, and IAM — with a sound understanding of cost, reliability, and architectural trade-offs.
Experience working with frontend frameworks like React, especially in products with rich visual UX or creative/editor interfaces.
Familiarity with backend technologies such as FastAPI, Python, and Java/Spring, with the ability to evaluate technical decisions and guide implementations.
1+ years of experience with AI/ML or MLOps workflows, including deploying models via FastAPI, Docker, or on GPU-enabled ECS instances.
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., AWS CodeBuild/CodeDeploy), containerization (Docker), and monitoring/debugging tools (e.g., Datadog, CloudWatch).
Strong product intuition—able to anticipate when a feature may not meet user needs, even if technically complete.
Excellent written communication skills—able to produce specifications, documentation, and team feedback independently, without relying on senior executives for clarity.
