About the role

- Proven ability to prioritize across many stakeholders and to partner with Product Management to translate business goals into engineering plans with reliable estimates
- Track record of coaching and developing senior engineers, including performance management, career growth planning, and technical mentorship
- Excellent communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customers
