You will lead the design of complex product capabilities, navigate architectural trade-offs in a high-traffic environment, and multiply the team's impact by mentoring other engineers and raising the bar for engineering excellence. This is a role for a technical leader who enjoys solving ambitious, product-driven problems through sound engineering judgment and cross-functional collaboration.
