Establish and maintain engineering KPIs and reporting for continuous improvement and business transparency.

Ensure the delivery of secure, maintainable, and scalable code that aligns with best-in-class software engineering practices.

Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence executive decision-making.

Foster a collaborative, innovative culture that encourages technical excellence and professional growth.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (Master’s preferred).

Must be a U.S. Citizen.

8+ years of progressive experience leading software development teams, including 3+ years at the Director or VP level.

Deep experience with AWS services (RDS, EC2, S3, Lambda) and SQL-based relational databases.

Demonstrated success in scaling teams, modernizing SaaS architectures, and driving agile transformations.

Strong understanding of Git workflows, Linux environments, and modern DevOps practices.

Exceptional communication, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation package, with a competitive target salary, commensurate with experience.
