What they're looking for

  • Operational ownership: experience running a high-availability SaaS platform in production, including incident command, root cause discipline, SLOs, and turning a poor reliability trend around with data
  • Executive and customer communication: the ability to give leadership an accurate picture, including when the accurate version is the worse-sounding one, and to represent engineering credibly in front of customers
  • Delivery discipline: a track record of predictable execution, with clear ownership, planning that holds, and commitments that land
  • People leadership: experience managing managers, hiring senior engineers, and raising the bar of an organization you inherited
  • Business judgement: the ability to connect engineering investment to customer outcomes and to explain the trade-offs between reliability, re-architecture and new capability
  • Typically 12 or more years in software engineering, with at least 3 years leading multiple teams through managers, in a SaaS or cloud infrastructure environment
