Fostering a culture of continuous delivery, efficiency, and disciplined engineering, defining what good engineering looks like, specifying the tools and methods to use, and ensuring their consistent application across the entire technology stack. With strong people leadership, the VP leads a small, high-impact team that maintains accountability and drives engineering performance.
