Responsibilities
- Set technical direction and provide hands-on architectural leadership across multiple engineering teams.
- Write production-grade code roughly half of the time, review code, pair with engineers, and model strong engineering practices.
- Drive adoption of platform standards, modern tooling, testing, build and deployment practices, observability, and security baselines.
- Resolve complex technical problems, lead root-cause analysis, and drive systemic improvements for production incidents.
- Build shared tooling, automation, runbooks, training, and other improvements to raise domain-wide engineering health and velocity.
- Mentor senior engineers and facilitate knowledge transfer through pairing, design collaboration, and working sessions.
- Translate enterprise technical strategy into execution while providing feedback on platform priorities.
- Create design documents, decision records, and living technical documentation that support cross-team alignment.
- Use engineering health metrics to guide technical decisions, architecture, prioritization, and continuous improvement.
- Work effectively across distributed teams and time zones spanning the US, Guadalajara, and Bangalore.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including modern web application development, platform engineering, or cloud-native architecture.
- At least two years operating at a senior level and driving technical decisions across more than one team.
- Hands-on experience with developer-experience and platform tooling such as CI/CD pipelines, shared libraries, service templates, API gateways, contract testing, and observability.
- Working knowledge of distributed systems patterns, event-driven architecture, message streaming, synchronous and asynchronous tradeoffs, and service-to-service authentication.
- Experience writing architecture and design documentation, including decision records and runbooks, that engineers actively use.
- Experience using engineering health metrics such as deployment frequency, change failure rate, and incident volume to guide technical decisions.
- Demonstrated experience driving cross-team alignment, trunk-based development, CI/CD, observability, automated testing, and senior-engineer mentorship.
- Deep expertise in at least one engineering domain—frontend, backend, platform, or data—with strong working knowledge across the full stack.
- Fluency with modern software development practices and AI-assisted development, plus strong architecture, communication, mentorship, and data-informed decision-making skills.
- Experience working across distributed teams and time zones is strongly preferred.
Benefits
- Eligible U.S. employees may receive medical, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life and AD&D, disability, and employee assistance program benefits.
