Description

  • Lead a software engineering team building, shipping, and operating production software at the intersection of AI and software engineering.
  • Set and execute the team roadmap across feature delivery, reliability investments, AI-enabled capabilities, and operational improvements.
  • Manage, coach, and develop software engineers and tech leads through goal setting, performance management, hiring, and succession planning.
  • Partner with product, AI engineering, platform, infrastructure, and downstream stakeholders to align priorities, trade-offs, and delivery commitments.
  • Establish engineering norms for design review, code review, testing, release management, on-call, incident response, and production ownership.
  • Drive reliability and operational excellence across team services through service ownership, observability, release confidence, and preventative work.
  • Improve how the team uses AI in engineering work, including AI coding assistants, agentic automation, and evaluation-driven development.
  • Ensure AI-enabled systems are built responsibly with quality, safety, and reliability controls suited to non-deterministic behavior.
  • Contribute to cross-team engineering standards, operating mechanisms, and platform decisions within CorpTech Platform.
  • Communicate strategy, risks, trade-offs, and execution status to senior engineering leadership and cross-functional partners.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in software engineering, reliability engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • At least 2 years of direct people management of software engineers.
  • Experience managing an engineering team owning production systems end to end, including delivery, reliability, and on-call responsibility.
  • Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, observability, and cloud or platform infrastructure.
  • Practical experience with AI-enabled software systems and AI-accelerated engineering workflows, including LLM-based features, AI coding assistants, or agentic automation.
  • Strong people leadership skills, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and development of engineers and tech leads.
  • Ability to lead through ambiguity, create clarity from incomplete information, and balance speed with engineering rigor.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence senior engineers, executive leadership, and cross-functional partners.
  • Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • U.S. Person status is required due to access to export-controlled data.
  • Experience leading teams that combine software engineering with site reliability engineering, production engineering, or quality engineering responsibilities under one charter (preferred).
  • Experience operationalizing AI-enabled systems in production, including evaluation frameworks, guardrails, observability for model behavior, and incident response for non-deterministic failures (preferred).
  • Experience improving release cadence, test strategy, observability, and on-call health for operationally loaded teams (preferred).
  • Familiarity with frontier AI tooling, AI coding assistants, MCP, agentic systems, and evaluation-driven development workflows (preferred).
  • Experience in hyper-growth startup-like environments balancing speed, scale, and long-term engineering health (preferred).
  • Familiarity with enterprise systems and business process domains such as ERP, MES, WMS, CRM, finance systems, or manufacturing systems (preferred).
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance (preferred).

Benefits
