## About the role

Lead the systems and engineering org through a shift from a traditional IT and admin-centric org to one centered around platform and data engineering. Own the technical architecture, design, and delivery roadmap across business systems, enterprise data and integrations.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in software, platform, or data engineering, including 4+ years managing engineers and engineering managers
- Strong organizational leadership: hiring, career pathing, and building succession depth across a multi-manager org that currently has real single-point-of-failure risk
- Comfortable operating in an ambiguous, transformation-in-progress environment
- Demonstrated ownership of team-based technical architecture and engineering practices: repo management, CI/CD, code review standards, test/regression discipline, etc
- Experience managing a technically mixed org (engineers, data engineers, and platform/systems administrators) and successfully raising the technical bar of the admin-facing work over time
- Data-first orientation focused on data architecture and flow
