- Proven track record of delivering complex engineering projects with measurable outcomes, including reliability, performance, or delivery improvements.
- Experience working cross-functionally with product managers, data teams, or research/ML partners to translate requirements into technical execution plans.
- Strong understanding of production system delivery, including sprint planning, incident management, and operational excellence.
- Ability to balance technical depth with leadership responsibilities in a fast-moving environment.
- Nice to have: exposure to fraud detection, security signals, or device intelligence systems.
- Nice to have: experience working with ML systems in production or real-time/latency-sensitive backend systems.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation aligned with senior engineering leadership roles.
- Fully remote, globally distributed work environment.
- Opportunity to lead high-impact systems directly tied to product differentiation and revenue.
