Experience with automated testing, release pipelines, service architecture, distributed systems, or comparable modern software development practices.
Experience leading architectural change, platform modernization, or large-scale technical migrations across multiple engineering teams.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience providing technical leadership across teams without direct reporting authority.
Experience building platforms for large internal engineering communities or organizations with thousands of developers.
Experience with AI-enabled engineering workflows, quality analytics, or emerging developer productivity technologies.
Ability to create clarity, communicate complex technical ideas, and align engineers, managers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
