What we are looking for:

  • 10-15+ years relevant experience in a fast paced, high growth tech environment
  • Experience building, leading, and architecting large systems at enterprise scale with a great impact (e.g. including well-designed APIs, applicable user interfaces, high volume data pipelines, efficient algorithms)
  • Technical leadership with hands on experience leading project teams and setting technical direction and strategy
  • Experience working in a complex, matrixed organization involving cross-functional, and/or cross-business projects
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills & ability to lead high-level discussions on technology strategy and approach
