About the Role
About your tasks: Lead, hire, coach, and develop multiple engineering teams, fostering an inclusive and psychologically safe culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement. Establish a clear engineering agenda based on an understanding of the teams’ strengths, challenges, and opportunities. Partner with Product Managers to shape priorities and balance customer value, business needs, delivery commitments, and technical excellence. Create clarity around priorities and ownership, proactively manage risks, communicate them early, and ensure reliable follow-through on commitments. Support engineers through regular feedback, career development, mentoring, and performance management. Provide technical direction, help teams address root causes, and steer them towards simple, maintainable solutions without acting as an individual contributor. Collaborate with engineering leaders and stakeholders, addressing conflicts constructively and driving cross-team initiatives. Use data and measurable outcomes to improve delivery, reliability, cost efficiency, team effectiveness, and customer impact.
About you: Experience leading multiple engineering teams in a product-oriented environment. A strong track record of creating direction, driving execution, and achieving measurable outcomes. A passion for coaching, mentoring, and helping engineers grow. Sufficient technical depth to recognize what good looks like, challenge constructively, and guide teams towards sound decisions. A proactive, structured leadership style with strong ownership and follow-through. Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust and effective partnerships across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, and Business. Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, modern software engineering practices, and agile product development. Experience in e-commerce is a plus, but not required.
