Responsibilities

  • Lead global engineering delivery by breaking down the technical roadmap and executing across a fully distributed team, owning sprint commitments, release cycles, and daily momentum across multiple time zones.

  • Own delivery metrics (DORA) by implementing, tracking, and optimizing Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Time to Restore Service to maintain a healthy, high-throughput pipeline.
  • Champion AI-augmented engineering by standardizing and optimizing the team's use of modern AI development tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code, balancing rapid AI-assisted execution with rigorous code review, security guardrails, and codebase cleanliness.
  • Manage and mentor a close-knit team of approximately 10 engineers globally, conducting high-impact flexible one-on-ones, setting clear performance expectations, and maintaining a motivated, inclusive, and unified culture across geographic distances.
